Step 1: Bring a pan of water to the boil and preheat broiler or grill.
Step 2: Core tomatoes and slash the other end with an "X". Blanch tomatoes one minutes, then plunge into cold water.
Step 3: When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, cut into quarters and removed seeds and excess juice with a gentle squeeze.
Step 4: Finely chop tomatoes and place in a small bowl with the basil, vinegar, garlic paste and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Stir.
Step 5: Slice baguette into half inch slices on the diagonal.
Step 6: Brush both sides of bread with olive oil and place on baking sheet.
Step 7: Broil both sides until golden. You could also toast the bread on the grill.
Step 8: Drain tomato mixture in a sieve to remove as much liquid as possible. (If you are making pasta, dump the liquid into your sauce.)
Step 9: Spoon mixture over bread and sprinkle with parmesan.
Step 10: Serve immediately.
