Spaghetti with Fresh Raw Tomatoes ( Super Easy)

Celebrate the season with this super easy recipe!

Get some of the best tomatoes you can find, homegrown or some good organic heirlooms are wonderful. Get a few different tomatoes going on in there to add some color and flavor variety.

Cut them up in various sizes and put in a bowl with some sea salt, grated clove of garlic, a bit of dried oregano, some fresh basil leaves and some extra virgin olive oil. Let sit and the juices will come out of the tomatoes making a delicous sauce. Adjust to taste with more salt, pepper and hot pepper seeds if you like.

Cook up some of your favorite spaghetti or angel hair. I used whole wheat angel hair in mine, and cook al dente.

Toss into the tomato mixture and you have dinner! Add cheese if you like but it's so good just like this. Now you don't have an excuse not to cook on a hot day because this is a no brainer! Some feta cheese would be good on this or a shaving of pecorino.
