Ingredients
-
4 scallions, coarsely chopped (white and pale green parts only)
-
3 garlic cloves, crushed
-
1 (12 ounce) container cherry tomatoes, halved
-
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, coarsely chopped
-
salt & freshly ground black pepper
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
salt & freshly ground black pepper
-
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
-
8 ounces spaghettini (angel hair pasta, macaroni, rotini, whatever pasta you like)
-
8 -10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the next 7 ingredients in a food processor. Pulse just until the tomatoes are coarsely chopped (do not puree).
- Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the tomato mixture and fresh mozzarella in a large bowl. Add some of the reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup) if the sauce looks dry. Serve immediately.
