A fun variation on the flavors of a Caprese salad! I recommend using good quality ingredients, as the recipe depends on only a handful of them to really shine. This was given to me by my aunt at my bridal shower.

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, combine your choice of cubed cheese with the basil, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and black pepper, and stir well, using a fork.
Add a little more olive oil, as desired, to prevent mixture from becoming too dry.
Allow sauce to sit while you prepare linguine according to package directions.
Immediately after draining linguine, toss with sauce and allow to sit for a moment while the cheese melts a bit from the heat of the pasta.
Stir, serve, and enjoy!
