Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces penne rigate or other small tube pasta, like ziti, or short fusilli (corkscrews)
4 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby mozzarella (boconccini), drained
2 tablespoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil, plus for drizzling
3 large ripe tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously, add the pasta, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, strip the leaves from the oregano and thyme sprigs. Chop them together with the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper, and then use the flat side of the knife to mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put in a bowl, along with the cheese, olive oil and toss to coat the cheese with the herb paste.

Absolutely fantastic pasta dish. This dish is always a hit. I've been making it for about 10 years and I still get lots of requests for it.
