Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lbs cherry tomatoes
1 onion, finely diced
salt, to taste
2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, very finely grated
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet, over a medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, onion and salt. Stir frequently. This mixture will need to cook for about 25 minutes until the sauce has developed.
  • When the tomatoes soften and the skins start to burst, press on them to release the juices inside. Once the majority of the skins have burst, it does not need stirring more than once every 5 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, so it will be ready in time for the sauce.
  • After about 25 minutes, the tomatoes should all have split and the juices should have created a sauce. Stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and blended in.
  • If desired, use a blender or hand-blender to puree the sauce, otherwise it can be left chunky.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and basil leaves to the sauce, stir and serve on top of the pasta or mixed together with the pasta.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I loved this dish. The mascarpone cheese mellowed out the acidity of the tomatoes and created a really creamy and flavorful sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more garlic and herbs in the sauce.

I added some grilled chicken to this dish and it was amazing! The chicken added an extra layer of flavor and protein.

I've never been a fan of mascarpone cheese, but this recipe changed my mind. The cheese added a richness and creaminess to the sauce that was simply delicious.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! My family loved the creamy sauce and the pop of flavor from the tomatoes.

This pasta dish was an absolute delight! The combination of cherry tomatoes, mascarpone cheese, and basil created a sauce that was both creamy and tangy. The tomatoes burst with flavor in every bite.
