No Knife-Pasta 

from Martha Stewart 

* 1 pound pasta
* Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
* 4 medium tomatoes, cored and torn into 3/4th inch pieces (I cheat
   and buy diced tomatoes in a can!)

* 1/2 up extra-virgin olive oil
* 3T coarsely torn oregano leaves
* 4 medium cloves garlic, smashed
* 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
* 1/4 # fresh mozzarella, torn into 1/2 inch pieces

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions.


2. While pasta is cooking , in a large bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, 
olive oil, oregano, garlic, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature up to 8 hours.


3. Drain spaghetti in a colander and add tomato to mixture. Add 
mozzarella and toss to combine. Garnish with basil and serve
