Linguine with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

For tomato sauce:

• 2 cups seeded, and coarsely chopped tomato
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves, minced
• 1 cup firmly packed fresh parsley leaves, minced
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
• 3 garlic cloves, or to taste, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 pound linguine
• Fresh parsley to garnish

Directions

Make tomato sauce:

In a bowl combine well all the sauce ingredients and let the sauce stand at room temperature, covered, for at least 1 hour.

In large pot, bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and stir to prevent sticking. Return water to boil and cook until pasta is firm but cooked, approximately 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta well. Serve with tomato sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
