Fusilli with No-Cook Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Sauce image

This recipe is originally from Bon Appetit Magazine. It is absolutely delicious in summertime made with ripe tomatoes. This dish is easy and very healthy, and always receives raves from family and friends. The original recipe called for 6 Tbsp. of olive oil, but I found it too oily; feel free to experiment on your own. The secret lies in allowing the flavors of the tomato sauce to marinate, so don't cut this step short. Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fusilli pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 1 1/2 pints)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta into a large bowl and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. As the tomatoes cook and soften, smash them with a fork. Continue to cook until the tomatoes make a chunky style sauce, about 4 minutes. Transfer the tomato sauce to the bowl with the pasta. Toss to combine. Add the basil leaves and mozzarella. Stir to combine. Add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the pasta is moist. Serve.

Tips:

  • For the tastiest results, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. If your tomatoes are not very flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce.
  • To make the sauce even more flavorful, you can roast the tomatoes in the oven before adding them to the sauce. This will caramelize the tomatoes and bring out their sweetness.
  • If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. However, fresh basil will give the sauce a much more vibrant flavor.
  • This sauce is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can use any type of pasta you like for this recipe. Fusilli, penne, and spaghetti are all good choices.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is made with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, and it is tossed with cooked pasta. The dish is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Bon Appetit!
