Pasta With Tomato Sauce with Basil and Brie

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes, seeded and coarsely diced
8 ounces Brie, rind removed, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 ounces pasta such as bow tie, penne, rigate or linguine
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
freshly grated parmesan cheese

In a large serving bowl, combine the garlic, tomatoes, Brie, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside to warm to room temperature or, preferably, place the bowl, be sure it's heatproof over the pasta pot to warm the ingredients while heating the water. Do not stir the sauce while it's warming and wait until it's tossed with the pasta. Once the water comes to a boil, remove the bowl and set it aside.

Cook the pasta in the large pot of boiling, salted water, according to package directions, until it is firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well and immediately add it to the sauce. Sprinkle with the basil and toss until combined. Serve immediately with the parmesan cheese.
Serves 4.
