actually that's what we had for dinner monday night. simplest pasta ever: spaghetti, garden tomatoes, basil, olive oil and garlic. the secret is macerating the tomatoes, garlic and salt for 10 minutes while the pasta is cooking, to draw out the tomato juices.
I actually prefer the raw version by now. Packs a bit more punch and is even more true to the ingredients. Anyway, I love both versions of the dish. Still have to try Marcella's version with fresh tomatoes and basil (iirc).
