Put a large pot of water to boil. When bubbling vigorously add a packet of fresh stuffed pasta (any will do).

In the meantime, heat a pan with a little olive oil, add one large chopped garlic clove, and after about 30 seconds add two medium-chopped very ripe tomatoes. After the tomatoes have softened for a minute or so, add some shredded basil leaves and a large dollop of creme fraiche. Add a pinch of dried chilli flakes, some sea salt and freshly ground pepper. 

When the pasta is al dente, drain and mix into the pasta sauce. Serve with additional basil leaves and a grating of parmesan cheese.
