From Sydney Food,
Bill Granger, Murdoch Books, 2000.
This is not a vegetarian cookery book but vegetarians will
find that the few dishes that are suitable for them are certainly worth trying
out.
This pasta dish with uncooked tomatoes is one that I really
enjoyed—and it was an easy one to make.
The tomatoes were skinned, seeded and chopped. They were
then sprinkled with salt and left to drain. When about half an hour had been
allowed for the draining the chopped tomatoes were mixed with olive oil,
vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and chilli—a sort of dressing with added chilli.
The mixture was left to meld while water was put on to boil
for the spaghetti. When this was cooked it was drained and the tomato mixture
tossed through it. Some parmesan was added on top and a few torn basil leaves.
This was such a pleasing pasta. The flavour of the tomatoes
was refreshing after the cooked tomato sauces that are usually used. I’ll go
back to this one for sure.
