Method

1. Remove the skins from the tomatoes by scoring the skin with a sharp knife. Place them in boiling water for approximately ten seconds. Drain and put them into ice cold water. The skin will start to peel away. Make sure you remove it all.
2. Chop the peeled tomatoes into small cubes. Put them into a bowl so that they are ready to cook. Include the seeds and juice.
3. In a frying pan, gently fry the onions in the olive oil until golden.
4. Add in the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to cook for approximately three minutes.
5. In the meantime cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, drain and add to the sauce.
6. Tear the basil leaves over the top and mix well. Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan on top.
