Refresh tomatoes in ice water, remove the skin, cut tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds. Cut them into 1/2" dice and set aside. Combine red pepper flakes, julienne basil leaves, sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste; set aside to have ready for the final assembly of the dish. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons coarse salt and reboil before adding thin spaghetti. Cook according to package directions, about 10 minutes or until al dente. Immediately drain pasta and place into a large serving bowl. Add extra virgin olive oil to the cooked pasta and toss well. Now add the ingredients in quick succession: tomatoes, red pepper, basil, salt and pepper. Toss everything together and incorporate well. Top with optional ricotta salata.
