Spaghetti with Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1 pound tomatoes, slightly green
• 1 pound spaghetti
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, or more to taste

Directions

Bring 1 gallon (4 quarts) water to a boil. Drop the tomatoes into the water for 15 seconds. Remove and let cool. Keep the water boiling. Add the spaghetti and 2 tablespoons salt.
While the spaghetti is boiling, peel the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds. Chop the tomatoes coarsely. Chop the garlic fine. In a skillet, sauté the garlic in olive oil gently for 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomato and turn up the heat. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the tomatoes soften. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain the spaghetti, and toss with the sauce and the grated Parmesan.
