This dish combines the delicious trio of tomato, basil, and mozzarella. It also has the lightness of a salad, but the richness of a heavier meal without the unhealthy fats, and will be as pleasing to the eyes as it will be to your appetite!
Tomato Basil Spaghetti
16 oz. spaghetti
5 roma tomatoes
1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper
8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente.
Meanwhile, chop tomatoes into small pieces, and mozzarella into cubes.
When spaghetti has cooked, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, or until it is only slightly warm (to assure the cheese will not melt in the pasta). Next, add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and basil. Toss. Then, add extra-virgin olive oil and mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately.
Serves approximately 5.
