Crudo Tomato Sauce

As simple as can be, this uncooked sauce relies on the freshness of the ingredients. Use tomatoes, preferably heirlooms, that are perfectly ripe.

Ingredients

4-6 tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), seeded and coarsely chopped

2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (this is the time for the good stuff)

1 bunch basil leaves, chopped or roughly torn

salt & pepper


Instructions

Season the tomatoes with salt and allow to drain over a colander for about 15 minutes.

Toss the tomatoes, sliced garlic, extra virgin olive oil and a bit of freshly ground pepper together in a large bowl. Season with additional salt to taste.

Toss with hot pasta and add the basil at the last minute. Enjoy!
