Introduction
This recipe showcases the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes you can find. The only cooking involved is warming a bit of olive oil, which infuses the herbs and takes the raw edge off the tomato.

Ingredients
-
4 large ripe tomatoes, to yield about 4 cups, chopped
1/4 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (packed) finely sliced fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
Tips
The recipe can easily be adjusted to serve as many people as you need to feed; simply use 1 tomato, 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. basil per serving.
This sauce is perfect on its own, with the fresh flavors of tomato and basil. But cheese makes a good accompaniment. Add diced fresh mozzarella cheese to hot drained pasta, if you'd like. Or top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. It also makes great bruschetta topping with a bit of garlic added!
Directions
Core the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes crosswise in half and squeeze out the seeds. Chop the tomatoes. Transfer to a large bowl and add basil.
Place the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat the oil until it shimmers but doesn't bubble or smoke.
Quickly but carefully pour the warm olive oil over the tomatoes (careful: the oil may spatter). Serve right away, over pasta if desired.

Might be a good idea to have the photograph reflect the ingredients in the recipe? Pictured is a Roma tomato (the type you're not supposed to use), garlic, peppercorns&thyme, none of which are in this recipe, the serving suggestion photographed is Italian bread, not pasta. Not a basil leaf in sight! - 7/14/13

I'm all for being a smartass (I really am) but nitpicking on the picture isn't exactly helpful. Besides, it's relevant enough, as it's a picture of bruschetta and this recipe is essentially a simplified version of that. It can be eaten on bread as well and modified accordingly w/ those ingredients - 7/14/13

A lot of the photos for the recipes here are "stock" photos. I know, because I have sent inquiries about photos in relation to the recipes offered. There was a great chocolate lovers recipe collection, but the picture of a slice of creamy chocolate pie did not match any of the recipes. So I aske - 7/14/13
