This one comes from "The Complete Book of Pasta" by Jarratt and Jarratt,
a Dover book.  It's quick and easy to make, and great on a hot summer
night.  I highly recommend the book; it's full of easy and interesting
recipes.

Spaghetti with Raw Tomatoes & Basil (for 6 people)

600 g (1 1/2 lb) spaghetti

Sauce

800 g (2 lb) ripe tomatoes; tinned ones are no use for this dish
5 tablespoonsful of the best olive oil you can get
a handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped.  Dried basil is no use
	in this recipe
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Peel the tomatoes - 1 minute in boiling water makes this easy.  Remove the
seeds and the liquid.  Shake them dry and chop them up.  It's a good idea
to leave them over a sieve for a few minutes so that any remaining liquid
will run away.

Put the tomatoes in a bowl.  Add the oil, the chopped basil, the chopped
garlic, and the desired quantity of salt and pepper.

When the spaghetti are cooked and drained, put them in a serving dish.  Add the
cold, uncooked sauce.  Mix well, and send to table.

No grated cheese is served with this dish; which has the advantage of being
very easy to digest.
