Author in the Kitchen: Summertime Pasta with Fresh Mozzarella Served by Cookbook Author Sloane Taylor...



Ah, late summer. Wouldn't you rather be lazing by the pool or relaxing on your patio or deck, and not trying to figure out what to make for supper? Got you covered! How about pasta with fresh Mozzarella? Mix up a big salad and uncork a bottle of your favorite chilled wine then kick back.
 
Pasta with Fresh Mozzarella
½ package any curly pasta
3-4 plum tomatoes, diced
¾ cup olive oil
fresh basil leaves
1 clove fresh garlic pressed
fresh mini Mozzarella balls quartered
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta al dente.

While the pasta is boiling, sauté garlic in olive oil for 1 – 2 minutes. Don’t let the garlic burn or your dish will be bitter.

Drain the pasta. Place pasta in a serving bowl.

Add the oil/garlic mixture, Mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Toss well.

Serve the Parmesan on the side.

May you enjoy all the days of your life filled with good friends, laughter, and seated around a well-laden table!
