     1/2   c            Fresh basil, chopped

   Combine all ingredients, except the cheese and pasta,
  and let sit at room temperature for a couple of hours
  to blend the flavors.
  
   Cook the pasta in 4 quarts of boiling salted water
  until tender but still firm - 'al dente'.  Drain.
  
   Toss the pasta with the sauce and cheese until well
  coated and serve.
