Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 pound small tomatoes
- 1 pound small mozzarella pearls
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, torn or chopped
- 1 pound small pasta, I prefer campanelle but orecchiette is fun too
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions.
While pasta is cooking, combine all other ingredients in a large bowl.
Once pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of cooking liquid, drain pasta and add to bowl with other ingredients. Toss to combine, using a bit of pasta water to make it all come together. You don't want a sauce but you do want it to be glossy and not sticking together.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
