Steps:
- First, blanch your tomatoes. Bring a pot of water to the boil and put your tomatoes in, whole, for about a minute. You aren't trying to cook them, just get the skin loosened.
- Remove the water and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
- Remove the skins, and then chop roughly and remove the seeds (whilst trying to keep as much of the juice as possible!)
- Put the chopped tomatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, chili flakes, basil and garlic.
- Set aside for a few hours, to let the flavors mingle.
- When it's time to serve, cook your linguine according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pan.
- Remove the garlic from the tomato sauce.
- Mix the tomato sauce in with the linguine. (Do not have any heat on the pan at this stage - the tomatoes will warm up a little just by contact with the linguine but we don't want the end result to be piping hot).
- Serve!

Steps:
- Over medium heat, saute the chopped onion in the olive oil until onion is just golden brown. Remove from heat and add the tomatoes, juice and all. Crush the tomatoes slightly with a fork. Return to low heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- While the sauce is cooking, wash and dry the arugula, discarding thick stems. Cut into thin ribbons and set aside.
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add salt if desired and when water reboils, add pasta. Stir vigorously with a long-handled wooden spoon or fork to separate pasta strands and bring water quickly back to a boil.
- When pasta is done, drain quickly and turn into a warm serving bowl. Remove sauce from fire and add the arugola, stirring to mix well. Pour sauce over pasta and sprinkle with half the pecorino cheese. Serve immediately, passing the rest of the cheese separately.
