Title: Summertime Pasta Categories: None Yield: 1 Servings 1/4 c Olive oil 2 c Chopped tomatoes; peeled 2 lg Cloves garlic; pressed (I -usually use 10 or more, we -LOVE garlic) 5 Basil leaves 2 c Mozzarella cheese; cubed 1 lb Pasta (Barilla is quite -good-rigatoni or penne) 1/4 c "pasta water" Salt (optional to taste) Pepper; freshly ground Hot pepper In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, 2 basil leaves, salt, pepper and hot pepper. For best results, marinade overnight(but can also be combined with pasta immediately for a quick meal) covered, unrefrigerated. Cook pasta al dente. Save 1/4 cup of pasta water and add it to pasta in a large bowl. Add marinade and Mozzarella cheese and mix well. Serve warm. Add remaining basil for decoration. **I put the tomatoes, cheese, and other ingredients together in a bowl in the morning and let it marinade all day. This a delicious meal with bread and a salad.
