Method

Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti and toss to coat.

Mix in the olives to finish the sauce.

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

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

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

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

Preheat the grill to high.
