Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic
- 15-25 leaves of bazil (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small-medium tomatoes or 1 large tomato
- Enough pasta for one large serving (I prefer shapes that hold
- sauce well, such as radiatore)
- salt
Directions
Chop up the garlic finely. Cut the tomatoes into small
chunks. Wash the basil and tear up the larger leaves (leave smaller
leaves whole)
Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan (use enough oil to more than
cover the bottom of the pan), and start sauteeing the garlic, but
don't let it get brown. After it has sauteed for a minute or two, add
the tomato chunks and some of the basil.
Cook on low heat, stirring, until tomatoes get soft, but haven't yet
fallen apart completely (10-15 min.). Throw the remaining basil in
while the tomatoes are cooking. Add salt to taste.
Serve over cooked pasta. Makes one serving.
