Peel the tomatos, cut them into small chunks, and put them into the pasta serving dish. Chop together the garlic and basil, and add them to the tomatos. Add the salt, freshly ground pepper in abundance (10 twists of the mill is a good amount), and the olive oil. Stir, and marinate for 1 hour. Cook the pasta and drain especially well, shaking the colander to get out all the water before putting the pasta on top of the uncooked sauce. Toss and serve.
