This is one of my all-time favorites - REC: Linguine with Tomato and Basil
This is a recipe from Linda Stradley. It is basically an alla checca. I prefer it over angel hair or spaghetti.....I also leave out the olives, cuz DH doesn't like them.
Linguine With Tomatoes & Basil
This is the perfect recipe for those hot
summer days when you garden is plentiful
with fresh tomatoes and basil.
6 very ripe large tomatoes, peeled, seeded,
and cut into bite-sized pieces
