Introduction
	I'm currently in Italy and we had a wonderful pasta lunch today that Guido's Papa cooked.Guido showed me what type of canned tomatos his Papa uses for his sauce. Here Papa uses a can of tomato pulp and a can of whole cherry tomatos.We don't have canned cherry tomatos in the USA, at least not that I've seen, but I think this combination will work nicely. This sauce has no salt because of the salt used to cook the pasta and the salt in the parmesan cheese used to top the pasta. When I cook 4 servings of pasta I add 3 tsps of regular sea salt to the water. That's equivelent to the small handful of coarse sea salt most Italian cooks use.Coarse sea salt is expensive back home but in Italy, it's about 25 cents a pound.
Ingredients
	1 regular size (about 9 oz) can crushed roma tomatos with juice 1 regular can (about 9 oz) whole tomatoes with juice (not stewed) 3/4 cube butter Sea_salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 4-6 large fresh basil leaves, minced 4 servings cooked pasta such as ziti.
Directions
Step: 1	In a saucepan melt the butter. Mince the basil and add to the butter along with both cans od the tomatos. Cook, stirring often over medium low heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes. When sauce is done add the drained cooked pasta and toss well to coat with the sauce. Serve with lots of grated parmesan on top. Leftover sauce can be recycled by adding chopped onions, some garlic and italian sausage with a bit of red wine, simmered a bit till the sausage is cooked, for a whole different type sauce.
