summer linguine with tomatoes and basil

1. Combine tomatoes, Brie, basil, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, ½ tsp 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. Add 1 Tbs 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 the tomato/cheese sauce. Serve at once, passing the pepper mill and grated Parmesan to taste.
