Ingredients for 4 portions
2 cups of noodles (I used campanelle noodles)
3 Tbs. of olive oil
1 garlic clove finely sliced
1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup of bocconcini
1 cup of fresh basil leaves
Coarse sea salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
Put the water for the pasta to boil. In a skillet over medium heat sauté the garlic in olive oil, until golden, 5-6 minutes. Set aside. Cook the pasta al dente and once it’s strained, let some fresh water run on top to stop cooking. Strain the pasta again and put it in a bowl with the olive oil and garlic, tomatoes, bocconcini, salt and pepper, and combine. Add the basil, combine and serve.
