Pasta with Tomato and Lime Sauce

I made this last night because I wanted something different and lite. It seems to be a hit.

Serves 4

1lb (450g) very ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped.
1 small bunch of tender, spinach leaves, torn
4 cloves garlic, crushed
grated rine of 1/2 lime
juice of 2 limes
1/4 chili sauce (I left this out because I don't like hot stuff...but nobody thought it was bland)
12 oz (250g) thin spaghetti (angel hair/capellini)
salt and pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

1. Combine the tomatoes, spinach, garlic, lime rine and juice,and chili sauce. Stir well to mix. Set aside for 20-30 minutes.

2. Cook the pasta in a boiling salted water until just tender (check package directions for timing). Drain and return to the pan.

3. Add the olive oil and tomato and lime sauce to the pasta. Toss well together. Season with salt and pepper. Add Parmesan cheese to taste, toss again and serve.
