Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves sliced or roughly chopped
- 12 oz cherry tomatoes or grape, halved if too large
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 10 oz penne pasta or the pasta of your choice
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
- chili flakes
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet.
- Add the chopped onions and garlic, a teaspoon of chili flakes, a generous pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. Cook until the onions and garlic are soft, transparent, and aromatic, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and stir. Cook the tomatoes for 5-7 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring often. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Mix the tomatoes with the pasta and pour 5 cups of water. Add a couple of basil leaves.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring and turning the pasta frequently with a wooden spoon, until it is al dente and the water nearly evaporates about 12-15 minutes.
- Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Break the mozzarella into bite-size pieces and scatter it over the pasta. Drizzle some olive oil and chili flakes. Cover and let the mozzarella melt for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the fresh tomato pasta in bowls with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and top with Parmesan if you like.

Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only estimated and can vary based on the products used.
- If you choose spaghetti, ensure you cook it in a deep skillet large enough to fit it without breaking it.
- Fully immerse the pasta in the water. It will soften as soon as the water starts to boil. Gently stir to prevent parts of the pasta from sticking together.
- Don't forget to recheck the seasoning when the cooking is finished.
