Directions
1. Gently heat the butter in a heavy based pan
2. Halve the tomatoes, tear= the basil leaves and very finely chop the clove of garlic.
3. When the butter is foaming add the tomatoes, garlic and basil and cook on a low heat until the tomatoes have softened and rendered their juices.
4. Remove from the heat, add a grating of nutmeg and season to taste. If the tomatoes are a little sharp add a pinch of sugar.
5. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, drain and serve with the tomato sauce spooned over.
6. A drizzle of crème fraiche or a squeeze of lemon juice will add another dimension to the flavour of the sauce.
