Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb vine-ripened tomatoes (about 6), chopped
3/4 lb salted fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup halved and pitted black olives
4 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 lb spaghetti
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced

Directions:

In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes with the mozzarella, basil, olives, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain, add to the tomato mixture, and toss.
Heat the oil in a small frying pan over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour the oil over the pasta and toss again.
Variations: Add some drained capers, chopped red onion, or grated Parmesan to the pasta.
Wine Recommendation: Valpolicella, the crisp, fruity, cherry-scented wine from the shores of Lake Garda in the Veneto, is the perfect hot-weather wine for tomato-and-herb-based dishes. Try one here for a delightful accompaniment.
