Personal Notes:
BASIL LEAVES.....many folks do not care for the flavor of basil, that being the case I take basil leaves, wash them, dry with paper toweling and place in dish on table...
This allows guests to take a few leaves, tear them up and scatter them over the pasta, themselve...

I like tearing my own leaves as I tend to use more as the flavor to me is very good!
