Pasta Alla Carretiera [carter's Pasta; Pasta W. Fresh Tom

Recipe Ingredients

6		Tomatoes
5		Garlic cloves
1 cup	40g / 1.4oz	Fresh basil leaves
		Crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup	78ml	Olive oil
		Salt
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Spaghetti

Recipe Instructions

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.
