This easy weeknight recipe from Marcella Hazan is pasta the way it is meant to be, and it can be prepared with items already in your pantry or easily procured at your farmers' market, corner deli or backyard garden. Fresh mint, sage, rosemary and parsley are tossed with chopped, ripe tomatoes and tossed with sizzling hot olive oil. The best part is it can be thrown together in about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and when water has returned to a boil, add the penne, stirring with a long- handled wooden fork or spoon to distribute the pasta evenly.
- While the pasta is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe. Chop the fresh herbs together briefly and place in a deep bowl in which you will serve the pasta.
- Seed the tomatoes and cut them into small cubes. Add to the herbs in the bowl and mix together gently but thoroughly. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary or desired.
- This step must proceed very quickly, so be sure your timing is right. Heat the olive oil over a medium high flame until it is very hot. When it begins to smoke, pour all at once over the vegetables in the bowl. Drain the cooked pasta and add it immediately to the oil and sizzling vegetables. Mix well. Serve immediately.
