Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound 2 ounces ripe vine tomatoes (peeled*, seeded, and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 10 leaves basil (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • Salt and pepper

Instruction

  • Place the tomatoes in a large bowl, add the oil, basil, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently, cover, and set aside in a cool place. Then forget about them for about 30 minutes or so to let the flavors mingle.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, until it is tender but al dente, or firm to the bite. Drain the spaghetti.
  • Remove and discard the garlic from the raw tomato sauce. Add the pasta to the sauce, toss, and serve immediately.
