- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes , diced

- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions

Cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining well. 4. Add the oil to the tomato mix. Add the hot cooked pasta and toss well to combine. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with the pasta cooking water 5. Add the remaining basil leaves and serve warm.
