Categories     Salad     Sauce     Boil

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fusilli pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 1 1/2 pints)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. As the tomatoes cook and soften, smash them with a fork. Continue to cook until the tomatoes make a chunky sauce, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato sauce to the bowl with the pasta and toss to combine. Stir in the basil leaves and mozzarella, then add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the pasta is moist. Serve.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheese and basil helped to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
