Summer Tomato Pasta Food

SUMMER GARDEN PASTA

Steps:

• Combine the cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature for about 4 hours.
• Just before you're ready to serve, bring a large pot of water with a splash of olive oil and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente according to the directions on the package (be careful - it only takes 2 to 3 minutes!). Drain the pasta well and add to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes. Add the cheese and some extra fresh basil leaves and toss well. Serve in big bowls with extra cheese on each serving.

FRESH TOMATO PASTA (MY FAVOURITE SUMMER PASTA)

Steps:

• To a large bowl, add the tomatoes, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine. Let rest for 10 to 20 minutes at room temperature which will allow the flavours to marinate.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package direction. When ready, drain and then return the pasta to the empty pot. Add all of the fresh tomato mixture and toss to combine. Serve hot.

PAMELA SHERRID'S SUMMER PASTA

Steps:

• Take out your largest bowl. Add the garlic. Pour in 1/2 cup olive oil. With scissors, snip the basil leaves into shreds over the garlic mixture. Let sit all day.
• About 2 hours before serving, chop the tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
• When you're ready to eat, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Meanwhile, cut the mozzarella into small cubes.
• Drain the pasta and pour it on top of the tomato mixture. Do not stir. Spread the mozzarella on top of the pasta and toss only the pasta and cheese; the cheese will soften slightly, and the pasta will get coated with fat. Then stir up from the bottom, incorporating the tomato mixture. Season with salt and add the remaining olive oil, if desired. Serve with bread.
