Garlicky Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes

(originally made 10/2008)

In true New England fashion, we went from soup weather to summer weather over the course of a few days   :)   Since the guys were eating something else for lunch, I decided to scale down this recipe and make it for myself.     Simple with great flavors!    Since tomatoes were late around here this year, I still managed to get some good ones.     I made a few minor changes, and I added crushed red pepper flakes.    A nice addition would be some cooked chicken.
