fresh tomato sauce

This is nice to make while the pasta cooks.  While bringing the pasta water to a boil, peel a pound of delicious tomatoes from your garden or the Farmers Market.  Crush them with your hands into a bowl.  I find that pound of tomatoes will sauce about 1/2 a pound of pasta.  While the pasta cooks, saute the tomato pulp in a Tbs. of olive oil with a chopped clove of garlic and a pinch of salt.  Once it is reduced to sauce-like consistency I add a few sliced fresh basil leaves, a tsp. of balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of dried red pepper flakes.  Taste for salt.  Drain the cooked pasta and mix in with the sauce to heat for a couple of minutes.  Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan.
