Fresh Tomato Pasta

This came out of a parenting magazine with the theme of "cooking with kids".  Well on the upside it is simple, tasty and quick.  On the down side my kids won't touch it.  It is a bruschetta style sauce that is great for adult taste buds but I don't think kids will like it much - despite the wagon wheel pasta I chose.

3 large fresh tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
Olive oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
ground pepper to taste
300 g dry pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
grated Parmesan cheese for serving

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper.  Let the mixture marinate (stir once) while you cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water.

When the pasta is al dente, drain and return to the pot.  Toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, then immediately toss with shredded cheddar while the pasta is still hot.  Drain the tomatoes (discarding garlic and marinating liquid) and stir into pasta.  Serve immediately with grated parmesan cheese.
