Pasta with Tomatoes and Goat CheeseQuentin Bacon

The goat cheese, when tossed with the hot pasta, melts and becomes a creamy sauce. We've learned that it's a good idea to taste your goat cheese before using it (or before buying it, if possible — one of the soft goat cheeses we tried seemed a bit too strong for this dish).

Cooks' Note

•To prevent basil leaves from discoloring, don't tear them until just before pasta is done.

•For an especially vibrant presentation, use cherry tomatoes in a variety of shapes and colors.
