Ingredients
- 2½ cups cooked pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 14-16 cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 more or less fresh basil leaves
- ½ - 1 teaspoon oregano
- hot pepper flakes to taste
- 7 ounces fresh mozzarella cubed
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water cook pasta (short or long) until al dente.
- In a large frying pan on medium heat, add the oil, onion, garlic, spices and tomatoes, fry until soft and lightly browned.
- Add cooked pasta, ½ ladle of pasta water and mozzarella, toss gently until completely combined on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until mozzarella starts to melt. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan Cheese if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Rule of thumb is 2 ounces / 57 grams of dry pasta per person. Although you could increase to 2½ ounces / 75 grams. This will yield approximately 1¼ – 1¾ cups cooked.

- Any leftover pasta should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 2-3 days. It can be reheated in a pan with a little water.
