Fresh Tomato Sauce With Pasta

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
• 6 medium tomatoes
• 6 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 cup fresh basil
• salt
• 1 lb pasta
• parmesan cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Core tomatoes tear or cut into bite-size pieces into serving bowl. Add garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes, oregano, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 cup oil. Lightly crush together. Let stand at room temperature 1 to 8 hours. I found the longer it sat the better and also dry basil could be used in place of fresh.

2. 2

   When the sauce has set the time you would like cook the pasta. Any pasta will work although I think speghetti or fusilli works best. Add hot , cooked pasta to sauce, sprinkle with parmesean and enjoy!
