Ingredients

1 lb pasta (capellini, linguine, spaghetti)

bunch of fresh basil sliced chiffonade

2 - 4 cloves finely chopped garlic (mash with salt into a paste)

4 - 6 chopped fresh Jersey tomatoes (seeded and juice squeezed out)

one nice head of green leaf lettuce (finely sliced)

top quality extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Cook pasta according to package. I find dry pasta works better, it’s more ala dente

Mix all ingredients together. Toss with olive oil (to taste, but not too wet)

Season with salt and pepper

Chill
