- 10 garlic cloves crushed and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- sea salt

- fresh basil leaves optional

Instructions
- Cut the top of the tomatoes. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cut ends of the tomato into a large bowl. Discard the skins.
- Crush the garlic cloves. Discard the skins and chop the cloves into smaller pieces. You can leave them large or mince; it is up to you.
- Set a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.Add two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.Add the chopped garlic and saute, stirring, until fragrant, for two to three minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir—season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground pepper—Cook sauce on low-medium heat for about 40 minutes.
- In the last fifteen minutes of cooking the sauce, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- When pasta is done, grab it with tongs and transfer it to the large skillet with the sauce. It is ok to move some pasta water in the process. Stir to let sauce cover all the pasta. Remove from heat.
- Serve in pasta bowls with more pepper, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, and Parmesan as desired.
