Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Start to Finish Time: 2 hours (including marinade time)

“This dish is the essence of summer. Make the most of it with fresh homegrown tomatoes, basil and garlic from Cucurbit Farm. The fresh basil adds depth and the Brie cheese melts into the linguine to make a subtle sauce. Use low-carb linguine to make it even more heart healthy.”

4 ripe large tomatoes, cut into 1/2 –inch cubes

1 pound Brie cheese, rind removed,

torn into irregular pieces

1 can artichoke hearts (in water), quartered
