-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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

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.
