NO COOK SPAGHETTI AND FEW AWARDS

The word basil comes from the greek word BASILEUS meaning the KING and it is believed to have grown above the spot where St. Constantine and Helen discovered the Holy Cross.

Sweet Basil also known as common basil is used all around the world,in italian cooking is combined with tomatoes to make pesto and is frequently used in thai cooking too..Europeans use basil to flavour chicken and for fish salad and gravy..The strong clove scent of sweet basil comes from eugenol the same chemical as actual cloves.

ways to preserve basil leaves

Puree the leaves with few drops of water or oil ,portion them into ice cubes and freeze,when they are frozen,remove and store in the freezer in zip lock bag,.when needed add after the cooking process so that the flavour doesnt fade.

Another traditional way is to layer the leaves in a jar,lightly salt them,and cover with olive oil,seal the lid tightly and place in a cool dark place or refrigerate.Use the elaves when needed and reseal everytime ,the oil becomes infused with essence of basil making it ideal for dressings or in pastas.source from here

In India having tulsi plant at home is considered very auspicious,the word tulsi means THE INCOMPARABLE ONE ,two types of tulsis are found in INDIA the dark SHYAMA tulsi and the light RAMA tulsi,another name of tulsi in INDIA is VRINDADEVI meaning GODDESS OF VRINDAVAN,in english tulsi is known as HOLY BASIL.source from here

Holy Basil is considered to be adaptogen balancing different processes of the body and helpful for adapting the stress.The juices of its leaf is used for traeting cough ,cold stomach disorders,headache,inflammation and other illness.

Coming back to todays post i prepared no cook spaghetti in garlic basilleaves and tomato sauce,..

ingredient needed

wholemeal sphagetti,..

quantity depending on your need

tomato one

garlic clove two

parmesan cheese grated to garnish one tbsp

salt as per taste
