http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/fusilli_with_garden_fresh_tomato_sauce.html
From EatingWell: Summer 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)This easy uncooked sauce is perfect on a hot summer night. You can serve it right away, but it tastes even better if everything marinates for an hour or so. To feed more people, simply add a little more of each ingredient—especially the tomatoes. Halved cherry tomatoes are a nice alternative to field tomatoes.
