PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA CHEESE

Here we have the other pasta recipe I talked about  few days ago. The first one was about Rigatoni, take a look if you want.

Let’s go.

Ingredients for 4-6 people:

∙ PASTA

500g Penne.

∙ SAUCE

90ml extra virgin olive oil ∙ 1 chopped clove garlic ∙24 cherry tomatoes cut in half ∙ salt and pepper ∙ 250g of fresh mozzarella cheese cut in little pieces ∙2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil ∙ 1 tablespoon of fresh mint.

∙ SAUCE: 1. Mix the tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, garlic, mint, and olive oil in a big bowl. 2. Add salt and pepper at your taste and mix it all together softly.

∙ PASTA: 3. Put a pan of salted water to boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until is al dente, 10-12 minutes. 4. Drain the pasta and put it into a large bowl. Add the sauce to the bowl. 5. Stir the mixture well and serve it hot.

I added grated cheese at the sauce, it is much better!

One trick: Heat in microwave the dishes were you are going to serve the pasta, so it will stay hot longer.

Hope you try it and tell me about.

See you soon!
