INSTRUCTIONS
Half fill a large saucepan with water and heat to boiling. Core the
tomatoes, then drop them in the boiling water for about 10 seconds
each. Remove from the saucepan and peel the tomatoes under cold
running water. Quarter the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds. Then
finely chop the remaining tomato pulp, place it in a medium-sized bowl
and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small skillet.
Add the minced onion and saute over medium heat, stirring for about 2
minutes. Add this to the chopped tomato, scraping in very last drop of
oil from the skillet. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil,
plus salt, parsley and basil. Grind in a generous amount of fresh
black pepper. Taste to adjust seasonings, cover and set aside. Cook
the pasta in plenty of boiling water until al dente. Drain and
transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, then
add sauce (either room temperature or heated slightly) and Parmesan.
Toss gently, and serve immediately, preferably on heated plates. Pass
extra Parmesan and the pepper mill. Recipe from STILL LIFE WITH MENU,
