Tomato Basil Penne Toss

Tomato Basil Penne Toss is an easy dinner recipe that is great to make in the summer when there are plenty of fresh tomatoes and herbs. You need to use fresh basil in this recipe, so be sure to buy some or use your own home grown herbs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 3 cups fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cut into small cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Add the penne to a large pasta pot of boiling water, cook until al dente.

    While the pasta is boiling, minced the garlic and chop the fresh tomatoes. Mix them together in a large serving bowl and stir in the olive oil. Season with salt & pepper. Slice the basil leaves into thin strips (chiffonade).

    Cut the fresh mozzarella in to bite sized cubes and stir into the tomato mixture. Top with the basil and serve immediately.

    Drain the penne pasta and add to the tomato mixture. Toss together to mix well.
