35+ Garden Fresh Basil Recipes

This post may contain affiliate links. View my disclosure policy for details.

Are you growing basil in your garden and not sure what to do with all of it? I have gathered 35+ fresh basil recipes to help you use it up!

It’s just about time to start our summer garden and one of my favorite things to grow are herbs. It’s SO much cheaper to grow them yourself than it is to buy them at the grocery store, and they’re a really easy way to spruce up your cooking with little effort. Basil has to be my favorite because I’m a pesto addict! Unfortunately my family doesn’t want to eat it every night so I’ve rounded up some other delicious (seriously, these recipes look amazing!) ways to use that garden fresh basil. Hope you find some here that become new favorites this summer!
