Simplest pasta ever

Now this is both a quick and simple yet very tasty recipe. You need just a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients (for 2 persons):

- 200g of pasta, whatever shape you like, but good quality
- 3-4 ripe tomatoes, depending on size
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- handful of fresh basil leaves
- salt, pepper

Brig a pot with enough water to boil, add salt and put the pasta in. While the pasta is cooking, chop the tomatoes into small chunks and mince the garlic. Heat the oil in the pan and fry the garlic on the high heat, very briefly, 15-20, just to release the aroma, do not let it brown. Then quickly add the tomatoes, add salt, pepper, fry for 30 seconds, add the basil, stir, and turn of the heat. The pasta should be cooked by now, so strain it and put it directly into the pan with tomatoes. Mix it all up, and serve with some freshly grated parmesan or grana padano cheese. It takes as long as you need to bring water to boil plus the cooking time for pasta.
