6 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili
Sea salt
Grated pecorino cheese or ricotta salata (salted)
Directions:-

As soon as the water returns to a full boil, add the spaghetti and stir.
Pour the olive oil in a large pan over moderately high heat, then add the garlic, tomatoes, basil and chili.

Simmer for several minutes, then lower the temperature and salt to taste.
When the pasta is cooked 'al dente', drain and toss into the pan with the sauce and stir well.

Note:
A variation of this recipe, especially good during hot summer months, is to combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, chili and olive oil in a large bowl.

Salt to taste, and then mix the ingredients into a loose paste.

Toss in the drained pasta, then stir. Serve with grated cheese.
