4-6 portions

• 4 ripe large tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 pound Brie cheese, rind removed, torn into irregular pieces
• 1 cup cleaned fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon best-quality olive oil
• 2 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds linguine
• Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese

1. Combine tomatoes, Brie, basil, garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a large serving bowl. Prepare at least 2 hours before serving and set aside, covered at room temperature.

2. Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining salt. Add the linguine and boil until tender but still firm, 8-10 minutes.

3. Drain pasta and immediately toss with tomato sauce. Serve at once, passing the peppermill, and grated Parmesan cheese if you like.
