Recipe: Cherry Tomato Pasta with Fresh Goat Cheese

Main Dishes - Pasta, Sauces
CHERRY TOMATO PASTA WITH FRESH GOAT CHEESE

The fresh goat cheese added to the hot pasta and fresh tomatoes will melt and bind with the tomatoes' juice and olive oil to form a creamy yet delicate sauce.

1 1/2 cups halved very ripe sweet cherry tomatoes, preferably a mixture of red and yellow
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces dried fettuccine or other pasta
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Place the cherry tomatoes in the bottom of a pasta serving bowl and stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, half of the basil, and the olive oil. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boll. Add the pasta and cook until just tender. Drain.

Immediately add the hot pasta to the bowl holding the tomatoes and stir in the goat cheese. Toss until the cheese has melted and a sauce has formed.

Garnish with the remaining basil and serve at once.

Servings: 3-4
