1 lb of spaghetti 1 1/2 lbs of tomatoes, about 3, seeded and diced (3 cups) 1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cut into 1/4 inch dice 3/4 c. chopped fresh basil 6 T. olive oil 2 tsp. red wine vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper 3 T. parmesan cheese
Combine the tomatoes, cheese, basil, oil, garlic, slart and pepper in a large bowl. Let marinate for several hours at room temperature.
Cook spaghetti until done and drain. Do NOT rinse. Put in a large pasta bowl and immediately toss with the tomato mixture. The heat of the spaghetti will soften the cheese.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately. I cannot get the fresh mozzarella in my store so I just use a cup of shredded mozzarella (like Kraft)
This is my favortie pasta. I usually use the roma tomatoes until the fresh ones are in season.
Enjoy!
