- For 1 lb. of pasta (use your favourite shape, I love linguine), you’ll need about a dozen good sized plum tomatoes that are ripe and firm. Dice them as small as possible without macerating them. Add to them, ¼ cup of fresh chopped basil, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic crushed, and ¼ cup of good olive oil. You can also add 1tsp of crushed chili (or more to taste). When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain immediately and pour into your serving bowl, toss the tomato mixture with the pasta, sprinkle with ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigianino and serve with a fresh green salad and crusty bread. And watch how fast it disappears!!!
