For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted, but fresh is highly recommended. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Feel free to add other herbs like oregano or thyme for a more complex flavor profile.
