7-8 ripe roma tomatoes
1/3-1/2 cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces

Preparation Instructions:

In large glass bowl, put olive oil, cheese, garlic, basil, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Let set on counter all day or at least a few hours. Boil pasta as directed on package, drain and pour into mixture. Add more oil if necessary and salt to taste. The heat of the noodles will melt the cheese. It's even better the next day. Serve warm.

Helpful Hints

It's much better with vine ripened tomatoes. Use only fresh basil. Photo by Tracy Dottavio-Robinson.
