Set aside. Tomatoes need to be at room temperature. It is important that you have really good tomatoes for this recipe. Home grown or vine ripened work best. Place all olive oil in a pan over low heat until hot. Peel and chop garlic into large pieces (try to get them all the same size so that they cook evenly) and place all of the garlic in the hot oil. Cook the garlic until it is a golden brown color. Do not burn it. While the garlic is browning, cook the pasta. When the pasta is cooked and drained, place it in a large serving bowl. Next, pour the garlic/oil mixture (yes, all of it) onto the pasta. Toss the tomatoes into the mixture and top with fresh parsley. For best results, make sure the oil and garlic mixture is still hot when you add it to the pasta and serve immediately. This dish is a wonderful, light meal that works best when served with a salad made with Romaine lettuce and hot bread or breadsticks. It also makes a great lunch just by itself.
