Fill a large pot (enough to hold 6-8 quarts) with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add pasta to boiling water, turn down flame to low-medium boil and cook until pasta is al dente or just a little underdone.
While waiting for pasta to cook, warm pasta bowls in oven at low temperature or pour hot water into bowls, pour out and dry just before serving.
When pasta is done, drain cooked pasta through a colander (reserving ½ to 1 cup pasta water for later use, if needed) and place pasta into warmed bowls.
Place a dollop of Italian Tomato Jam onto the pasta and drizzle with olive oil, fresh basil and grated parmesan or other hard cheese of your choice.
