Marybelle’s Pasta Checca
x
Print Options
Description
This is a perfect summer dish. I learned this from my former mother-in-law, who picked it up while living in Rome (Italy, not Georgia). It’s a family favorite. Marybelle said the Italians preferred using good canned tomatoes because the taste was more intense.
Ingredients
- 1 can (29 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes
- 1 bunch Fresh Basil (torn Into Bits) - Do This To Taste.
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 pinches Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 box (16 Oz. Box) Rotini Pasta
- 2 cups Cubed Mozzarella Cheese
Preparation
Drain tomatoes and place in a glass bowl. Add basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside and let the flavors marry for at least an hour.
While cooking the pasta, cube the cheese and put in the bowl.
Drain cooked pasta and add it to the bowl. Stir. Cheese will start to melt. Serve warm. (It’s fine the next day, if you have any left.) Serve with crusty French or Italian bread.
