400 gr of Tomatoes Pachino (DOP is better)

2 spoons of Extra Virgin Oil
4-6 leafs of basil

Procedure 

Take a pot with abundant water and coarse salt and put it on fire. Peel the garlic and put it in a pan (aluminum is better) with the oil, the tomatoes washed and cut in half, the basil and a touch of salt. When the water boil and before to drop the pasta into the pot, put the pan on fire with an energetic flame. After some minutes, squash lightly the tomatoes with a fork.
When the pasta is al dente, add to the sauce some spoon of water of the pasta.
 
Drain the pasta (al dente) and put it in the pan of the sauces to mix for 2-3 minutes  with lots of fresh pepper.
If you prefer, you can add parmigiano or grana DOP (It must be Italian)… Personally, I prefer don’t use parmigiano or grana, because they can cover the taste and the fresh of the best Pachino tomato.
