Directions:
Combine tomatoes, brie, basil, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in large bowl. Prepare at least two hours before serving and set aside, covered, at room temperature.

Bring six quarts water to a boil. Add 1 T. olive oil and salt to taste. Add pasta and cook till al dente, 8-10 minutes.

Drain pasta and immediately combine with the tomato sauce. Serve at once with additional pepper and grated parmesan, if you like. 4-6 portions

Personal Notes:
It's easy to adjust the ingredients to serve fewer people, or to suit your taste preferences. I also use less olive oil than called for. Summer tomatoes fresh from the garden are best!
