Watching America's Test Kitchen last weekend, they stressed that they used a different type of basil in cooking pasta sauces. It was not the typical large-leaf sweet basil, but a smaller-leafed variety with purple flowers. It's supposed to have a more intense flavor and the flower buds are also used in cooking and salads. I've looked through all my seed catalogs and can't find any similar except for Thai basil, which I'm sure wasn't it.
