  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 10 basil leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly mix tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil in a large serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate for four hours or more at room temperature.

    Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer to large bowl. Add tomato cold sauce to pasta and stir until combined. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
