Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes
This garlic and basil linguine is a perfect way to use up your late-summer tomato harvest. It makes a great light supper when paired with a salad, or you can make it heartier with some chopped chicken. —Susan Jones, Downers Grove, Illinois

Very good! I cut back on garlic (3 for double batch) and added black olives. I used half butter and half EVOO.
I don’t usually write a review but I felt the need for this recipe. I love all kinds of pasta but often tire of the heavy cream or heavy tomato sauces. This recipe is light and very flavorful, a great way to use up tomatoes (my favorite are the Campari because they hold up well, it just takes more). It’s a fantastic summer dish...stand alone with a salad or use as a side. The addition of shrimp or chicken makes the dish a more solid meal if your trying to please a hungry husband. Mine gave this rave reviews and he’s not much of a pasta man. I only made an addition by adding red or cayenne pepper because it adds a little oomph which we love. So easy and quick. You can throw everything together ahead of time to meld the flavors and just add your linguine right before serving. I have made with all different kinds of pasta and all are wonderful. Plenty good for company as well, just don’t forget to spice it up a bit. I have also used olive oil instead of the butter...either way is great.

It was wonderful, I also used evo. I also added shrimp. Will definitely make it again
It was excellent.The only thing I changed was use olive oil instead of butter. Will definitely make again.
This was very good and delicious. I will make again. I had left overs so I will see how well it freezes. If freezing doesn't work, next time I will try cutting it by half. I used 4 tablespoons of butter and 3 garlic cloves. I felt the pasta needed more moisture and I always add more garlic than a recipe calls for. I loved how easy this recipe was to whip up. I will keep it handy for tomato season.
This has been a summer favorite in our house for years. Perfect towards the end of the growing season when we have lots of tomatoes. I dice and fry chicken in butter and toss into the mix and we eat it as a meal. I also use whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles as we prefer the noodles thinner. The leftovers are just as good as when it is first made.
Love this recipe! It's very easy to make and my family loves it! I don't make any changes to the recipe.
I absolutely love this pasta dish. This is now my favorite was to have pasta. The best!!!!
I made this recipe but modified it a little bit,I infused the garlic with evoo,added red pepper flakes, added blake olives, less basil, since I didnt have fresh on hand & used cherry tomatoes. I did add butter after a few minutes of the garlic in oil, WONDERFUL LIGHT TASTY dish, Who needs meat when something taste this wonderful, thanks to the creator of this dish! One of our fav's
