This pasta was a staple when we went out east on the Island to spend the day on the Long Island Sound. Garden tomatoes and fresh basil were in abundance in my dad's garden, or at the local farm stands. When I make this in the summer it brings back fond memories of family, fun and carefree times, and feasting on home grown produce.

Cook pasta according to directions. In the meantime chop all your ingredients. Drain pasta and add all your ingredients except the cheese. Toss. Serve with the grated cheese.

I made the summer pasta a few weeks ago and it was incredible! Of course it wasn't as good as Lucy's as I was fortunate to have been a guest the night she made the dish and took the pictures! Boy it was close though! Mike Frino, Cornelius, NC.
