      1/3   c            Italian olive oil
      1/2   c            Chopped onion
    3       cl           Garlic
    2       tb           Chopped fresh basil

   Wash, peel & chop tomatoes, discarding seeds.  Heat
   oil in a moderately deep pan, add onion & garlic and
   saute until onion is limp.  Discard garlic and add
   tomatoes, chopped basil and salt & pepper.  Simmer for
   about 20 minutes over moderate heat. While sauce is
   simmering, bring a large pot of water to boil.  Add
   salt to taste and add spaghetti. Boil until spaghetti
   is “al dente,” aprox 8 to 10 minutes. Drain spaghetti,
   toss with the sauce and the grated cheese.
   
   Garnish each plate with some of the basil leaves.
   Serve at once.
