Instructions for Taglierini with Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce

Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Toss to blend. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.

Cook pasta in heavy large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Return pasta to pot.

Add tomato-basil sauce to pasta in pot. Toss over medium high heat until heated through and sauce coats pasta thickly, adding enough reserved pasta cooking water by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten, about 4 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup grated cheese and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing additional grated cheese.
