If I had to choose one recipe to illustrate my cooking philosophy, this would be the one. It’s utterly simple, fresh, and healthy. And it comes straight from Italy, by way of my greatuncle’s daughter’s husband, who happens to be a chef. Don’t be alarmed by the nine cloves of garlic. They melt into the sauce and add amazing depth to the fresh, sweet tomatoes.
