4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 pound medium pasta shells
2 pounds tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a cup, combine the garlic and olive oil. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.

3. Remove the garlic from the olive oil and discard. Add the garlic oil, butter and lemon peel to the tomatoes. Add the pasta and toss, adding a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to thin the sauce, if necessary. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper; toss. Serve with the parmesan.
