Red boats in a green sea

I think sometimes my daughter sees food as poetry. She was helping with dinner and she called the sauce in my skillet "red boats in a green sea."

So, what was it?

- some extra virgin olive oil
- a touch of butter
- a few pinches fresh ground black pepper
- basil from my garden
- chunks of tomato from my garden

Served on spinach ravioli, topped with a few pinches of shredded parmesan
