Linguine alla Caprese

This quickly tossed, fresh tomato sauce can be made ahead and left at room temperature. Just before serving, cook the pasta, then toss it with the sauce.

4 large ripe tomatoes, cored and seeded, cut into ½-inch dice
½ cup fresh basil leaves, slivered
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced
7 ounces ripe brie (rind removed) or mozzarella, cut in small cubes
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
⅓ cup olive oil
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
12 ounces linguine or spaghettini

1. Combine everything except pasta in a large serving bowl.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and
cook until al dente, about 11 minutes for linguini.

3. Drain well, add the pasta to the tomato sauce and toss well;
season with salt.

Serves 6.
