1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/2 lb. fresh, ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
12 oz. Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into cubes
1/4 c. fruity olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
16 oz. bow tie, penne or linguine pasta
fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. fresh basil, cut into strips

Combine garlic (I use more), tomatoes, brie (works fine not in cubes too), basil (use a bit less), olive oil, salt and pepper in the pasta serving dish. Set aside. DO NOT MIX. It needs to be at room temperature so it's okay to do way ahead. Cover. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and immediately add to bowl. Toss well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve at once. Excellent!

Note: Feta or blue cheese works well also.

Serves 4.
