This is a great summer dish, when tomatoes and basil are at their ripest.
Penne With Raw Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh Italian plum tomatoes
- 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 3 ounces arugula
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 16 leaves fresh basil, torn
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
- 1 pound penne pasta
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring 2 gallons of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in a large pasta serving bowl. With a vegetable peeler, shave thick slices of cheese into the bowl; grate the cheese that is too small to shave.
- Wash and stem arugula leaves. Dry and tear into small pieces. Add to the bowl with remaining ingredients, except the pasta. Toss well.
- Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and immediately toss pasta with the sauce until well coated. Serve in individual pasta bowls and sprinkle with extra Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and freshly ground pepper.
