Ingredients
-
8 to 10 ounces short pasta, such as Nodi Marini
-
1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 5 plum tomatoes (about 1 pound, or any variety of tomato, chopped)
- 8 ounces cold fresh mozzarella (drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 12 large fresh basil leaves (coarsely chopped)
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking together, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a heavy large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and saute just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the cheese and basil, and toss to coat. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt. Spoon the pasta into small serving bowls and serve immediately.

This was such a great summer pasta dish. I love caprese salad, and the flavors are all in this dish. It's great reheated too! I will make this dish often as it's a great way to have a meatless meal, but would also taste great with shrimp or chicken added.
How do you reheat this due to the tomatoes and basil already in it? Usually tomatoes reheated don’t do so well and the basil won’t either if reheated. Tips?
My mom always made this dish when I was a child , And now I make it for my family . It’s fast and quick!!
