INGREDIENTS
•
4 large tomatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces (I prefer the large beefsteak tomatoes but any really large tomato will do. If you can only find small/medium tomatoes, you will need more than 4)
•
4-6 cloves fresh garlic, mashed through a garlic press or finely minced
•
1 cup packed fresh basil, julienne cut (thin strips)
•
1 pound brie (although I sometimes use the President Brie wheel and that is 19 oz.)
•
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
•
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 1/2 pounds uncooked spaghetti
•
Freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano for sprinkling (optional)
