 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6       ea           Tomatoes
  5       ea           Garlic cloves
  1       c            Fresh basil leaves
                       Crushed red pepper flakes
    1/3   c            Olive oil
                       Salt
  1       lb           Spaghetti

 Peel and chop the tomatoes, being careful to conserve
 their juice. Chop very fine, or, pound in a mortar,
 the garlic, basil, red pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  Add the oil to the mortar little by little. When you
 have reduced these to a fairly smooth paste (not as
 smooth as a pesto), pour it into the tomatoes and mix
 well. Set aside for a few hours. Cook the spaghetti in
 boiling salted until al dente, drain, and place in
 serving bowl.  Add tomatoes and mix again.
