I enjoyed this with a loaf of ciabatta from Panera Bread. I used red pepper flakes rather than black pepper. A very nice treat - Thank you!

Like another reviewer, my fresh basil wasn't in good shape. So I also used the dried basil and added a dash of oregano while I was at it. It was delicious! Thank you!

Loved this! It went great with Soft Italian Bread Sticks Soft Italian Bread Sticks (Abm) and stuffed shells. I had to use dried basil, as my fresh didn't look so good and I used a pinch of salt also. Thanks for posting!

We loved this, Kim D. I added a bit of salt but other than that, no changes. Dh is pretty particular about his dipping sauce and this one met with his total appreciation.
