• While the liquid is reducing, drop the pasta into the boiling water, and cook according to package directions, just until al dente.
• When the pasta is done, drain and keep hot if the sauce is not done yet.
• Once the liquid has reduced enough, add the tomatoes, and heat briefly.
• You want them to get HOT, not MUSHY.
• Pour all this over the hot pasta and toss.
• Serve immediately, nice and hot, passing parmesan to let everyone top their own.
