"Transform a Caprese salad into a delightful and effortless dish with just five ingredients."
Ingredients:
  • 2  tablespoons, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 16 ounces farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes (about 20 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 (8-ounce) container fresh mozzarella cheese pearls in water, drained
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
Instructions:
  • Prepare the pasta: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, carefully heat 4 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons of salt until boiling. Add the farfalle pasta and cook until al dente following the package instructions, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and place it in a spacious bowl.
  • Sauté the tomatoes: In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the tomatoes, pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to burst, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens slightly and the tomatoes break down, about 6 minutes.
  • Combine the tomato mixture with the pasta and mix well. Add the mozzarella pearls and basil, and sprinkle with extra black pepper if desired. For optimal flavor, chill for up to 3 days and allow it to come to room temperature before serving. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this recipe, please rate and comment below!
