Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 green onion -- minced
8 ounces ricotta cheese -- (1 cup)
4 medium tomatoes -- diced
6 large sprigs fresh basil -- leaves only, roughly chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people -- as a starter

Gently heat oil in a pan and add onions and ricotta. After 1 minute stir in the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.

Remove from heat as soon as mixture is warmed through. Toss with pasta and serve.

Makes 4 servings.

VARIATIONS:
Use fresh goat cheese in place of ricotta cheese.

The fresh flavors of this virtually uncooked sauce are delicious in the summer sunshine. Serve as a starter with linguine or double to make a substantial main course with a salad of sliced peppers, black olives and cucumber.
