To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have tomato and mozzarella penne pasta using 9 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
- Get 1/2 cup olive oil
- Take 6 cloves garlic
- Make ready 6-8 tomatoes (I personally like Roma, or cherry/grape tomatoes)
- Make ready 1/2 tsp salt
- Take 1 bunch basil
- Get 8 oz mozzarella (if you love mozzarella, shoot for double!)
- Make ready 1 lb penne pasta
- Get to taste parmesan
- Get to taste crushed red pepper flakes
Steps to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute. Remember that 1 clove is about 1 or 2 tsp. Be careful not to burn it!
- Pour garlic and oil into a large bowl. This should be the bowl where everything eventually goes into.
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cook your penne. While this cooks, this is a good time to cut your tomatoes and mozzarella into diced pieces. If you can find the mozzarella that is already in pearl form, that makes things easier.
- Put your diced tomatoes, salt, and basil in the large bowl.
- Put diced mozzarella in a smaller, separate bowl. Pour in a little bit of olive oil - just enough to coat them. Believe me, this is important, unless you want all of the mozzarella to stick in one big clump..
- Once pasta is cooked, strain and pour it into the large bowl. Immediately, you’ll want to add in the mozzarella and stir it all up while the noodles are hot.
- Stir thoroughly. Add parmesan and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Optional: If you can get your hands on fig balsamic glaze, this is a very nice addition to add some sweetness to it.
- Can be served hot or cold. I like it hot, my dad likes it cold, so it’s really just a matter of opinion. Enjoy!
- Also, you could add some baby spinach leaves, if you want some greens!
