An easy, summer pasta dish with a no-cook sauce featuring fresh tomatoes and basil. For a variation you can add your favorite cheese at the table. Both feta and parmesan would work well.
Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
12 ounces linguine
4 quarts water
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Mix first three ingredients in a bowl. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. The tomatoes will release their juice and the flavors will blend, creating a sauce.
2. About 15 minutes before you are ready to serve bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
3. Add linguine to the boiling water. Return to a boil; cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes.
4. When pasta has finished cooking drain thoroughly and add tomato mixture. Serve immediately.
