Steps:
- Combine the cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature for about 4 hours.
- Just before you're ready to serve, bring a large pot of water with a splash of olive oil and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente according to the directions on the package (be careful - it only takes 2 to 3 minutes!). Drain the pasta well and add to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes. Add the cheese and some extra fresh basil leaves and toss well. Serve in big bowls with extra cheese on each serving.
PASTA SALAD WITH SUMMER TOMATOES, BASIL AND OLIVE OIL
This summery dish walks the line between tangy, juicy tomato salad and hearty pasta salad. To make it, ripe tomatoes are marinated with capers, garlic, basil and lots of good olive oil until they almost fall apart, creating a wonderfully soupy dressing for the pasta. Then the pasta is added while still hot to mix; as it cools, it absorbs all the bright flavors. If you can, choose heirloom tomatoes in an array of hues, and serve this in a glass bowl to show it off. Cubes of fresh mozzarella, or bocconcini, make for creamy addition. Add them just before serving, so the heat of the pasta doesn't melt the cheese.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, red-pepper flakes, the whole basil sprig and anchovies if using. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir in 1/2 cup oil. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. The tomatoes should be aggressively seasoned. Let tomatoes marinate for at least 1 hour and preferably 2 to 3.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it is just al dente, usually a minute less than the package instructions. Drain well. Add to bowl with tomatoes while still warm and toss well. Let pasta cool, soaking up the dressing. Let pasta sit at room temperature for at least another hour and up to 6 hours before serving. Or chill for up to 24 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
- Just before serving, gently fold in torn basil leaves. Top with more olive oil and cracked black pepper before serving.
PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES AND SUMMER HERBS
From the August 2009 New York Times, courtesy of Julia Moskin. This one dish meal is designed to be quick and satisfying to a wide range of tastes (note several options). It's also very easy to make, but needs time to marinate. Spend a few minutes in the kitchen after lunch and all you need to do for dinner is cook the pasta. This recipe can be easily halved for fewer diners. I picked the vegetarian option, but you could substitute tuna for the cheese if you'd prefer. My preference might be to add more tomatoes and/or reduce the pasta to sauce ratio.

PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES
If there's one thing we're happy to be drowning in come summertime, it's tomatoes. Fresh from the farmers' market or juicy and on sale from our local supermarket, we don't discriminate-and our summer dishes are all the better for it. A marinade is one of the easiest ways to infuse your seasonal bounty with even more flavor. Bathing your tomatoes in a vinaigrette at room temperature for even just 20 minutes lets them release their juices, absorb an assortment of marinade flavors, and break down a bit to become more tender. Then the creativity kicks in. Once marinated, tomatoes are an instant upgrade to any recipe you please, and they make an especially nice swap for a jarred sauce in summertime pasta. Tangy tomatoes play nicely with penne in this seasonal pasta that's quick enough for any busy cook. Our Pasta with Marinated Tomatoes will fill your table with a colorful bowl of pasta in under 30 minutes. Pulse one-fourth of your produce into a soft base to allow the marinated tomato flavor to nestle inside the nooks and carnies of your penne. It'll help make sure your pasta is coated and the marinated zest makes it into each bite. From there, all you need is fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, and your remaining, in-tact tomatoes to toss together an eye-catching, seasonal supper. Serve alongside a simple salad and some homemade garlic bread, and you can be sure the whole family will be happy (and asking for seconds).

Sun-dried tomatoes add a smoky flavor to this simple sauce. Garganelli and penne rigate both hold a thick sauce well.
