Another tip: halve large shrimp lengthwise (three can look skimpy on the plate, but six...). Warehouse clubs have fantastic prices on sun-dried tomatoes and cheese-two items than can bust your budget if you don't shop carefully.

Ingredients
8 oz. Brie cheese, rind removed, if desired
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 oz. uncooked linguine
1 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation
Cube Brie and combine with next 7 ingredients in a bowl. Cover and let stand about 1 hour.
