Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note
If the basil leaves are large, use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut them into smaller pieces.
Substitute
Prepare with a block of KRAFT Parmesan Cheese, using a potato peeler to easily shave the cheese.
Food Facts
Balsamic vinegar gets its dark color by being aged in barrels. Aged balsamic vinegar is deeper and richer in flavor than regular balsamic vinegar, making it worth the higher price.
