Linguine with Fresh 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
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.
