Ingredients

Coarse salt & ground pepper

2 lbs beefsteak or plum tomatoes cored

¼ cup EVOO

½ cup sliced shallots

1 tbsp coarsely chopped tarragon or basil

½ grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, halve tomatoes lengthwise. Squeeze to remove most of the seeds (discard seeds). Chop tomatoes into ½ inch pieces and set aside in a bowl.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium low. Add shallots, cook until golden, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Stir in tomatoes until coated with oil. Season generously with salt & pepper.

Cook pasta until al dente. Drain & return to pot. Pour tomato mixture over pasta. Add tarragon & parmesan. Toss to combine
