The toppings on this pasta are reminiscent of margherita pizza and make for a superquick meatless main dish. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta |
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 cup chopped green onions (about 2) |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1 (16-ounce) package cherry tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) preshredded parmesan cheese |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) diced fresh mozzarella |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain. Place in a large bowl. 2. While pasta cooks, combine basil, onions, minced garlic, and tomatoes in a food processor. Pulse 10 times or until coarsely chopped. Add Parmesan to pasta, stirring until cheese melts. Stir in tomato mixture, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; toss gently to coat pasta. Top with mozzarella. |
