Purists say that basil leaves should be torn apart in order to preserve the flavor, however I find snipping them with scissors when 4, 6, or 8 leaves are stacked together, doesn't destroy any of the flavor and is one of the easiest methods to use. Snip directly over the pasta or into the tomato sauce or onto fresh tomato slices etc.
