Basil-Aioli Recipe for the Aspiring Gourmand

Are you tired of being a culinary plebeian? Do you yearn to transcend the mundane world of plain pasta and elevate your taste buds to new heights? Look no further!

To craft the perfect basil-aioli, you'll need:

• 1 cup of high-quality mayonnaise (don't even think about it, just use the good stuff)
• 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped (no, not that wilted crap from the supermarket, get it from the local farmer's market)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (don't overdo it, or you'll be scrubbing the taste buds off your tongue)
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, minced (vampires need not apply)
• Salt and pepper, to taste (but let's be real, you're probably going to need more salt)

Now, combine all these ingredients in a bowl and... well, just don't mess it up, okay?

But seriously, mix everything together until it's smooth. Taste and adjust. Serve on your favorite pasta or use as a dip for, say, a pizza crust or a chicken wing.
