RIGATONI WITH BASIL AND GOAT CHEESE

These days I'm doing some pasta recipes. A friend let me take a look at a very practical book specialized in pasta, and I choose some dishes.

This recipe is very simple, the ingredients are fresh and the result is delicious.

Ingredients for 4-6 people:

∙ PASTA

   500g Rigatoni

∙ SAUCE

60ml extra virgin olive oil ∙ 1 chopped clove garlic ∙ 24 cherry tomatoes cut in half ∙ salt and pepper ∙ 250g of fresh goat cheese ∙ 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil .

∙ SAUCE: 1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté about 2-3 minutes. 2. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper at your taste. Let it cook on high heat until the tomatoes are heated, but neverlet them melt (I failed on this ...), 2-3 minutes.

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, then add the goat cheese and the basil. 5. Stir the mixture well and serve it hot.

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

Easy, right? And it’s delicious!

Hope you try to do it and tell me about.

See you soon!
