• 1 1/2 pound ziti or other pasta
• 10 ounces brie cheese, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 3-4 medium sized fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup basil, coarsely torn into pieces
• 3 tbs olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, brie, and olive oil. Stir to just blend and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta until just tender. Drain the pasta and put in a large serving bowl. Add the tomato-cheese mixture and toss to coat.

Just before serving, toss the basil with the pasta, and grind some fresh pepper over the dish. Serves 6.
