Description
This Italian side dish (aka ‘contorno’) couldn’t be easier! We make this often during the summer, when we have an abundance of basil and parsley growing in our garden. Works well with zucchini, too!

- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

- until tender and browned
