TOTAL TIME: 20 MINUTES
MAKES: 4-6 SERVINGS
4 cups chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 pound spaghetti or linguine, cooked according to package instructions
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Parmesan cheese, for serving
Red pepper flakes (optional)
1. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature until juices are released from tomatoes (about 20 minutes).
