Pasta with Fresh Garden Tomatoes and Basil

For your Shopping Cart:

Simple and Fresh recipe, this sauce requires no cooking. This is what the Italians would call a "crudo" or raw sauce since the ingredients are not cooked and added cold to the hot pasta.

Ingredients:

 3 cups of diced fresh tomatoes, seeds removed (about 3 large tomatoes)

½ cup of chopped fresh basil

½ cup of DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 lb of sDeLallo Spaghetti

1 tsp of salt

Directions:

In a large ceramic serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil,
and extra virgin olive oil. Add in salt to taste.  Let the sauce rest at room temperature to bring the flavors together.

Cook the pasta in the boiling salted water until just al dente. Reserve 2 cups of
hot pasta water in case you need to add some liquid to your final dish. Drain in a colander. Add the pasta to the ceramic bowl on top of the pasta sauce, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
