Ingredients:  
3 cups tightly packed basil leaves
1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
3 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Directions:
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Drop the basil leaves into the boiling water and submerge them for 5 seconds. Remove them to the ice bath using a spider or slotted spoon. Work quickly. You don't want the basil leaves in the boiling water for too long. Blanching the leaves and then shocking them in ice water will preserve the bright green color. Remove the basil from the water and squeeze dry using paper towels. You want the basil as dry as possible.

Remove basil to a blender with the oil, chili flakes and salt. Puree until the mixture is well combined. Place a strainer inside a bowl. Dampen a paper towel with water and line the towel inside the strainer. Pour the basil oil into the strainer. It takes awhile for the oil to strain through. You may need to squeeze it gently to help along the oil.
