This was great! I used cherry tomatoes and added some fresh mozzarella. It was a great change from spaghetti with cooked marinara sauce.

I loved this! It was so light and full of fresh, tasty goodness! I had this with angel hair pasta and a glass of wine, a perfect, light summer lunch on a hot, sticky day. I'll have this often when I have fresh basil. Divine.
