   2      tablespoons   chopped fresh sage
   2      teaspoons     finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
     1/2  cup           extra virgin olive oil
                        coarse salt and freshly ground pepper -- to
                        taste
   1      pound         stracci (fresh egg pasta cut into 4 by
                        -- 1-inch strips with a fluted

     1/2  cup           freshly grated pecorino romano
   2      medium        size ripe tomatoes -- peeled, seeded and
                        -- chopped

In a bowl large enough to contain all the ingredients, combine the
herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the stracci. Cook,
stirring frequently, until the stracci is al dente, tender yet firm to
the bite, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain well.

Add the pasta to the bowl with the herb mixture and toss well. Add the
cheese and toss again.

Scatter the tomatoes over the pasta and serve immediately.
