2 pounds tomatoes (preferably Italian type)
1 medium buch of basil, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan, divided
1 pound dried capellini or linguine
Combine all ingredients, except pasta, in medium pasta serving bowl. Save 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
Cook pasta til al dente, drain, then add to tomato mixture. Mix to combine.
Serve with remaining Parmesan.
Goes great with a really rich chardonnnay. It's so easy, the sauce isn't cooked and can be made 4 hours ahead, covered and left at room temp.
