Directions:

Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce and basil
/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Ripe plum tomatoes, peeled, halved and seeded
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
TBSP unsalted butter
Oz. freshly grated parmiagiano-reggiano (about 1/2 cup)
-8 fresh basil leaves, sliced thinly
Lb spaghetti
In a wide pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and red pepper flakes and season lightly with salt aned pepper. Let cook for a few minutes until tomatoes start to soften. Using a potato masher, smash the tomatoes finely. Cook 20-25 minutes until sauce is thickened.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente. Drain pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Add pasta to sauce and cook over medium-high heat, gently tossing the pasta and the sauce together with a couple of wooden spoons until pasta is just tender. If the sauce seems a little thick, add some of the reserved pasta water. Take pan off heat and toss in butter, basil and cheese. Serve immediately. Serves 4
