Recipe Ingredients
6 ea
Tomatoes
5 ea
Garlic cloves
1 c
Fresh basil leaves
Crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 c
Olive oil
Salt
1 lb
Spaghetti
Directions
Peel and chop the tomatoes, being careful to conserve their juice.
Chop very fine, or, pound in a mortar, the garlic, basil, red pepper,
and a pinch of salt.
Add the oil to the mortar little by little. When you have reduced
these to a fairly smooth paste (not as smooth as a pesto), pour it
into the tomatoes and mix well. Set aside for a few hours. Cook the
spaghetti in boiling salted until al dente, drain, and place in
serving bowl. Add tomatoes and mix again.
