Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil , chiffonade
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
3 cups spaghetti, cooked

Directions:

Peel, seed and dice the tomatoes.
Slice the fresh basil into thin ribbons (chiffonade). NOTE: Neither the tomatoes nor the basil gets cooked.
Heat the oil and add whole garlic cloves to flavor the oil. As soon as they turn brown, remove them or they'll make the oil bitter.
Add tomatoes and basil to the cooked spaghetti.
Add the hot garlic flavored oil and toss the spaghetti. NOTE The oil is the only part of the sauce that is hot.
For garnish and taste, top with whole-milk ricotta.
