Ingredients

    1 (14 1/2 oz.) can tomatoes
    3 medium garlic cloves
    1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
    1/4 cup packed fresh basil
    1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
    Salt
    1 pound Barilla Plus rotini
    1 medium cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
    1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

    2 cups (or 1 pt.) cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    3 scallions, thinly sliced
    2 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Blend diced tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Transfer to bowl (not metal), cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse well with cold water, and set aside.
