Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Place the butter or oil in an 8- or 10-inch skillet, and turn heat to medium. When butter melts or oil is hot, add tomatoes and turn heat to high.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to juice up, then turn the heat to low and keep warm, stirring occasionally, while you cook pasta.
  3. Cook pasta until it is tender but firm. Drain, and toss with tomatoes and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, toss again and serve immediately.
