I blanch the basil quickly with boiling water, that keeps the leaves green, then dry on paper and freeze. It works with dill, coriander etc. Do not look to keep them too long though but as a short fix it is OK. I have also had spinach the same way and used it in curries etc. Its better than throwing it away.
