Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic

thinly sliced lengthwise

2 pounds very ripe vine-ripened tomatoes -- coarsely chopped

and all the juices included

Salt -preferably the coarse variety -- to taste

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil -- up to 2

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley -- up to 2

1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion greens -- up to 2

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

12 ounces capellini or spaghettini -- or other thin pasta

 

Makes 4 main-course or 6 to 8 pasta-course servings

 

Save your juiciest vine-ripened tomatoes for this classic Provencal dish,

in which tomatoes are literally melted in a pan with hot olive oil for a

few minutes, then tossed with thin noodles. A naturally chunky sauce with

lots of flavorful brothlike tomato juice, the fondue can be tossed with any

pasta of your choice and is also good spooned over rice, couscous, polenta,

fresh vegetables or beans. Lots of crusty French bread will ensure that

none of the delicious juices are left behind on the plate.

 

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic

and cook, stirring. until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and

bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove the skillet from the

heat and season with salt, stirring well to combine.

 

Let the tomatoes soften in the skillet, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or

until the tomatoes feel warm to the touch. Stir in the basil, parsley,

scallion greens, and pepper.

 

Meanwhile, in a large stockpot, cook the pasta in boiling salted water

according to package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a

large bowl. Add the tomato sauce and toss well to thoroughly

combine. Serve at once.
