I stole this from Miami Beach's News Cafe, one of my favorite cafes. They have a pretty simple menu, but they always use ridiculously fresh & great ingredients. Definitely eat there if you're ever in the area. I should disclaim that I never got a "recipe," so don't blame them if you don't like. :)
- Mom o' Britomart's Basic Tomato Sauce
- I loaf crusty French baguette
- Goat cheese
- Fresh basil
While baking, heat up (unless you just made some & it's still hot) the tomato sauce. Tear basil into narrow strips, no more than an inch long.
Remove bread from oven. Cover plate with tomato sauce (a generous layer - a couple centimeters) and place baguette slices on top of sauce. Drizzle a small amount of extra sauce in artistic fashion over bread. Jauntily toss ripped basil pieces (quite a generous amount, the basil makes this dish!) all over plate. Serve.

Ohh, I see a flaw in your title. It requires removing something from an oven - a task not all of us are quite up for.
Ah, good point, deekay! I should retitle so it says "...that a Monkey with Dry Oven Mitts Could Make." (britomart)
There's a pasta at News Cafe that I loooove. I wish I could figure out the recipe. It is the pasta with fresh basil and tomato with mozzarella. If you can figure out something that can match that, you'd be my hero!
