Blend the garlic with the basil and the almonds. Transfer to a big bowl with some oil and the grated cheese. Mix well. Peel, de-seed and chop the tomatoes and add them to the basil paste. Mix well and let them fuse to acquire a sharp taste. In the meantime boil the spaghetti in salted water, leave ‘al dente’, drain and add to the bowl with the prepared mixture. Add salt, pepper or chilli, according to taste and serve cold.
