Instructions to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
- 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!
- Pour garlic and oil into a large bowl. This should be the bowl where everything eventually goes into.
- 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.
- Put your diced tomatoes, salt, and basil in the large bowl.
- 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..
- 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.
- Stir thoroughly. Add parmesan and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Optional: If you can get your hands on fig balsamic glaze, this is a very nice addition to add some sweetness to it.
- 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!
- Also, you could add some baby spinach leaves, if you want some greens!
Add tomatoes, bocconcini, thyme, oil, and vinegar to pasta. Toss, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a thin sauce that coats penne (you may not need all the water). Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Add the mini mozzarella and fresh basil and lightly toss until combined. If desired, add the reserved pasta water for a "saucier" pasta.
