I love caprese salad and so I was interested in this recipe that I found in an old copy of Mr. Food's Easy Cooking magazine. It's so easy and so good! Prep time includes marinading time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 lb plum tomato, chopped |
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch chunks |
1 (16 ounce) package wagon wheel macaroni or 1 (16 ounce) package pasta, of your choice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, red pepper and black pepper; add tomatoes and mozzarella and toss until well coated; let mixture marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook pasta per package directions; drain; place in a large bowl and add the tomato mixture; toss until well combined, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
3. Serve warm.
