Well, I have always adored traditional Pasta Alla Checca but using lemon basil instead of regular sweet basil added a whole new dimension to an already wonderful and healthy pasta dish. You simply must give it a try!
Combine tomatoes, garlic, lemon basil and olive oil in a lidded plastic storage container. Stir in salt. Cover and sit at room temperature for two to four hours, gently stirring once or twice. Cook pasta until "al dente" according to package directions. Drain. Place hot pasta on serving plates, top with sauce, garnish with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Lime basil is also very good, and Thai basil is great in Asian dishes. This pasta sounds really good. I will definitely have to try it. You always post great recipes!
Sounds deelish, Deeli! Now I know why your name suits you so well!
Looks like another winner alla Deeli.
