Make this linguine when your garden tomatoes are at their peak! It goes together quickly and the fresh taste of vine-riped tomatoes in the sauce can't be beat. The recipe is from a September 1986 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Start this early in the day you want to serve it, as the sauce must sit for 6 hours. Sitting time is not included in prep time. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
3 lbs very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped, liquid reserved |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 lb linguine |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in small skillet over medium-low heat. 2. Add garlic and stir 3 minutes; do not brown. 3. Transfer to large nonaluminim bowl. 4. Mix in tomatoes and liquid, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, basil and vinegar. 5. Season with salt and pepper and let stand 6 hours. 6. Just before serving, cook linguine in large amount of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. 7. Drain well; transfer to large bowl; add olive oil and toss well. 8. Add sauce and toss again. 9. Serve and pass Parmesan cheese. |
