1 pound fresh ripe tomatoes, diced - I used roma tomatoes
¼-1/3 cup basil pesto - to taste
about ¼ cup good extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
8-10 ounces pasta - I used whole wheat spaghetti
Instructions
Put a pot of salted water on to heat for pasta.
Dice tomatoes into a bowl large enough to toss ingredients. Add pesto, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss all together and set aside for flavors to meld together for a bit.
Cook pasta to al dente stage. Drain very quickly and immediately add back to the hot pot.
Throw in the tomato mixture and toss until evenly mixed. I let it sit for a few minutes just to warm the tomatoes, while I finish getting other things ready.
Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese and serve with salad, garlic bread, etc. Or just the wine...
