Brie Pasta

This is a favorite summertime pasta and a great way to use up a lot of garden tomatoes and basil. Believe it or not, we have reduced the fat from the original recipe.

2-3 cups of cut up tomatoes
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 cup pitted Kalmata olives
half of a wedge of Brie

1 pound linguine
freshly grated Parmesean cheese

Pour olive oil into a large pasta bowl. Add tomatoes and olives. Use the mini grinder to chop the garlic and basil, add that to the bowl and mix. Cut the rind off the Brie and give it to the dog. Tear the remaining cheese into small pieces and add to the bowl. Cover the bowl and leave at room temperature out of reach of the dog.

Go kayaking or play tennis for a few hours.

Cook linguine, drain and dump hot pasta onto the sauce. Mix and serve with Parmesean and fresh ground pepper.
