Answer 4

If you look at the link I posted above, it says:

"Italy's best known herb, basil has a strong anise flavor. A must in pesto, basil is a natural with tomatoes. (Basil's sweetness works nicely with the acidity in the tomatoes.) Tarragon, which isn't widely used in Italy, has a similar anise flavor, and you can use it as a substitute. You can also use parsley in most recipes calling for basil."

That person was wrong.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Parsley: "This herb is the unheralded star of Italian cooking. Basil may get all the attention, but parsley is more widely used. Flat-leaf varieties have a stronger flavor than curly-leaf varieties. You can cook parsley with garlic and onions in olive oil to form the flavor base for many dishes."

Oregano: "This herb has a potent aroma and flavor that predominates in much southern Italian cooking and is used commonly with tomatoes."

Answer 7

It says nothing about cumin.
