Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti or other long pasta
- 6-8 small tomatoes, or 3 large ones
- 1 clove garlic, chopped or pushes through a garlic press
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil
- Olive oil to cover
- 2-3 ounces fresh mozzarella
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Bring a small pot of water to boil and submerge the tomatoes for 30 seconds, then remove. Slit the skins with a knife; they should slip off easily. Halve the tomatoes and squeeze them gently to remove the pulp and seeds. Chop the tomato flesh.
- In a large serving bowl, add the tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, longer if possible.
- Cook the pasta until al dente in salty water. Drain, and add to the tomato mixture along with the mozzarella, grated. Toss well, and serve immediately.
