Spaghetti with Fresh Tomatoes
Jarred spaghetti sauce gets boring pretty fast and is usually loaded with more sugar than you need. This simple fresh pasta sauce comes from the Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan.
Ingredients
Boil tomatoes in water to loosen skin then strip them of their skin and slice them into small pieces by hand. You can take out all the seeds if you want. Place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl along with the crushed garlic, oregano, olive oil and basil leaves.
Put a cloth over a bowl for 1 hour to let all the flavors blend together. Cook and drain the spaghetti and add it to the tomato mixture. Add the Pecorino Romano and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with red wine.
