Method

Place halved tomatoes on a tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and scatter thyme leaves over.

Grill the tomatoes until the skins are blackened and they release their juices.

Transfer tomatoes and juices to a bowl and crush roughly with a fork.

Stir in torn basil leaves and adjust flavor with red wine vinegar or sugar if needed.

Mix in the olives to finish the sauce.

Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti and toss to coat.

Preheat the grill to high.
