ONE-POT CAPRESE PASTA



One-Pot Caprese Pasta image

This dish tastes just like your favorite summer salad, only heartier. If you haven't tried a one-pot pasta yet, do: It's a great timesaving trick. Place all the ingredients in the pot together, add enough water and simmer. The noodles and sauce cook together, which means this dinner is ready in just 15 minutes. Stirring in the fresh mozzarella after the pasta has finished cooking creates an almost instant cream sauce, coating each noodle with a hint of cheese.

INSALATA CAPRESE I

This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your pasta the best flavor.
  • Cut the tomatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the pasta will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil to the pan in the last few minutes of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the pasta with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
