The ingredients needed to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
  1. Prepare 1/2 cup olive oil
  2. Get 6 cloves garlic
  3. Make ready 6-8 tomatoes (or 2 containers of cherry tomatoes)
  4. Prepare 1/2 tsp salt
  5. Prepare 1 bunch fresh basil
  6. Make ready 1 lb fresh mozzarella
  7. Get 1 lb penne pasta
  8. Prepare to taste parmesan
  9. Make ready to taste crushed red pepper flakes

Garden fresh basil and summer sweet cherry tomatoes make this pasta salad a warm season favorite. Takes only a few minutes to put together, a quick summertime meal.

Steps to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute. Remember that 1 clove is about 1 or 2 tsp. Be careful not to burn it!
  2. Pour garlic and oil into a large bowl. This should be the bowl where everything eventually goes into.
  3. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cook your penne. While this cooks, this is a good time to cut your tomatoes and mozzarella into diced pieces. If you can find the mozzarella that is already in "pearl" form, that makes things easier.
  4. Put your diced tomatoes, salt, and basil in the large bowl.
  5. Put diced mozzarella in a smaller, separate bowl. Pour in a little bit of olive oil - just enough to coat them. Believe me, this is important, unless you want all of the mozzarella to stick in one big clump..
  6. Once pasta is cooked, strain and pour it into the large bowl. Immediately, you'll want to add in the mozzarella and stir it all up while the noodles are hot.
  7. Stir thoroughly. Add parmesan and red pepper flakes to taste.
  8. Optional: If you can get your hands on fig balsamic glaze, this is a very nice addition to add some sweetness to it.
  9. Can be served hot or cold. I like it hot, my dad likes it cold, so it's really just a matter of opinion. Enjoy!
  10. Also, you could add some baby spinach leaves, if you want some greens!
  11. Ready to serve and ENJOY!
