Pasta with Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

The goat cheese, when tossed with the hot pasta, melts and becomes a creamy sauce. We've learned that it's a good idea to taste your goat cheese before using it (or before buying it, if possible - one of the soft goat cheeses we tried seemed a bit too strong for this dish).

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb gemelli or penne
2 3/4 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
5 to 6 oz soft mild goat cheese, crumbled
2/3 cup coarsely chopped Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives
3/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, then drain.
  • While pasta is cooking, toss tomatoes with salt to taste in a bowl and let juices exude.
  • Toss hot pasta with goat cheese in a large bowl until cheese is melted and coats pasta. Add tomatoes with juices, olives, basil, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
