cook 3 no-cook summer pasta sauces by Yee-Fan Sun | 1 2 3 continued from page 1 Spaghetti with Fresh Tomatoes, Basil + Mozzarella You can use more tomatoes if you like, but the two small tomatoes specified in the recipe below are just enough to give a lovely, light, sweet tomato flavor to the cheese, garlic and basil, the flavors of which dominate the sauce. Even my raw-tomato-hating boy finds this dish pretty darn tasty. ingredients serves 2 Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box, then get yourself away from that hot stove. In a cool nook, mince up the garlic; core and de-seed the tomatoes, then mince up those as well. Toss the tomatoes and garlic in a big mixing bowl. Shred the basil leaves and the fresh mozzarella into the bowl; stir in the olive oil, and season with salt and plenty of fresh ground pepper to taste. When the pasta's properly cooked, drain well and dump the pasta in with the sauce. Stir it all up until you have a yummy cheesy sauce coating the pasta. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Eat right away, or let it cool down and enjoy at room temp.
