Cinnamon basilEvery year I like to try new varieties of basil, but I can't do without the classic broad-leaf basil and the wonderful cinnamon basil. This cultivar smells of basil and cinnamon, and is a valuable addition to many recipes, from teas to indian dishes.


Baked pasta with peppers and cinnamon basilI used a bunch of basil cinnamon for this baked pasta, seasoned with a bacon sauce, and the result was delicious.
