Fresh tomato, basil, and brie sauce for pasta

Ingredients:

• 450 g thin spaghetti
• 900 g of bull's heart tomatoes (about 3 medium)
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, plus extra for serving
• 200 g Brie cheese, cut into 1 cm pieces.

Preparation:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, coarsely grate the tomatoes into a large bowl, discarding any large chunks of skin. Stir in the olive oil, basil, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the Brie cheese.
3. Drain the pasta, setting aside 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and stir. Add the pasta cooking water, a little at a time, to rehydrate the pasta if needed and help the Brie partially melt.
