Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, then rinse in ice-cold water and drain well. Wash the zucchini, remove the stems and coarsely grate. Blanch the tomatoes, peel them, remove the stems and deseed them. Cut the flesh into fine strips. Peel the onion and chop very finely. Reserve a few basil leaves for garnish and finely slice the rest. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl with the pasta. Mix the red wine vinegar with a pinch of salt until dissolved. Add the pepper and then slowly add the olive oil, whisking vigorously to make a creamy dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything well. Serve on four plates with the remaining basil.
