Best Answer

Basil is very complimentary to tomatoes and tomato based foods. Basil also works very well with the other ingredients in pesto, or people wouldn't eat so much of it: oil, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and the like. Basil also works well with garlic, shallots, and onions, as well as rosemary, thyme, sage, lemon verbena, and *small* amounts of fresh oregano.
