Two-Cheese Fusilli with Marinated Tomatoes

Combine tomatoes, vinegar, garlic and salt in a large bowl.

Set aside to marinate.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

Immediately return the pasta to the pot.

Add fontina and the reserved cooking liquid; stir constantly until the cheese is melted.

Transfer to a serving bowl or individual pasta bowls.

Using a slotted spoon, spoon the marinated tomatoes over the pasta.

(Discard the marinating liquid.)

Drizzle with oil and top with basil and a generous grinding of pepper.
