2 lbs. Plum tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped

Salt, to taste
12 oz. Orechette pasta, cooked al dente and drained

Cook's Notes

I got the inspiration for this deliciously different recipe during a visit to Naples, and have tried to incorporate those flavors here. I have used orechette pasta, but you could also use but pennee or farfalle could also be used.
