I think I need new basil

I don't want to propagate right now, I just want to get them to grow leaves and produce volume, and from what I saw, flowers are bad in that respect, meaning the plant is focusing on producing flowers instead of focusing on producing leaves. I want the plant's attention on producing leaves for right now. That's why I'm pruning at the double node.
You cut off the flower buds; it'll grow.
 
As I trim mine off I put them on the counter and flip them over daily. When they're dry they get stored for over winter use.
