Fresh pasta sauce

Easy and really good.

1 LB FRESH TOMATOES OR 2 CUPS CANNED PLUM TOMATOES, DRAINED
1 LARGE CLOVE GARLIC, CRUSHED (ALTHOUGH I USE 3 OR 4 CLOVES)
1 TBSP OLIVE OIL
2 TBSP TOMATO PASTE
½ CUP FRESH BASIL
¼ TSP CAYENNE PEPPER
SALT & BLACK PEPPER TO TASTE
TOASTED PINE NUTS (OPTIONAL)

½ LB ANGEL HAIR PASTA
½ CUP GRATED PARMESAN REGGIANO CHEESE

WASH AND CORE TOMATOES, CUT UP AND PUT IN BLENDER WITH GARLIC, OIL, TOMATO PASTE AND BASIL.
BLEND UNTIL SAUCY.
ADD CAYENNE, SALT AND PEPPER.
COOK PASTA AND DRAIN.
PUT PASTA IN BOWL AND POUR IN SAUCE, MIX THOROUGHLY.
THE PASTA HEAT WILL COOK THE SAUCE.
SPRINKLE CHEESE ON TOP AND EAT.
