--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
