Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes

My brother sent me home from a recent visit with a bag full of home-grown tomatoes from his fecund garden. The variety - cuore di bue, heart of the bull. These heart-shaped beauties have a nice size and great flavor - perfect for a simple no-cook sauce. Simply diced up the tomatoes and toss with some basil, a minced garlic clove, and olive oil. Cook pasta and toss with the raw tomatoes. Reggiano, salt, and pepper to serve.
