PASTA CAPRESE
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.

CAPRESE PASTA
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- While the water comes to a boil, prepare the tomatoes: Halve the tomatoes crosswise, squeeze excess juice from the tomatoes into a bowl large enough to hold the pasta once it's cooked, chop the tomatoes, and add the chopped tomatoes to their juices in the bowl.
- Peel and mince the garlic if you want to use it, and add it to the tomatoes. Pour in the olive oil to tomatoes and toss to combine.
- Remove the leaves from the basil stems, stack them up, and cut them crosswise into ribbons .
- Add three-quarters of the basil to the tomatoes; set aside the rest to use as a garnish.
- Dice the mozzarella. Add half of the mozzarella to the tomatoes (it will melt a bit with the pasta) and reserve the rest to add at the end.
- Add enough salt to the boiling water to make it taste as salty as the sea (about 1 tablespoon salt to 2 quarts of water). Seriously, you want the water seasoned enough so that the pasta gets a bit of seasoning as it cooks and brings it to the whole dish.
- When the water boils, add the pasta and cook it until it's tender to the bite. Drain and quickly add the pasta to the bowl with the tomato mixture in it. Toss well to combine everything thoroughly-the heat from the pasta will melt the cheese a bit, the pasta will absorb a bit of the tomato juices, and the tossing will help emulsify the tomato juice and olive oil into a real sauce.
- Divide the pasta between 4 to 6 servings bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella and garnish with the remaining basil.
- Serve and enjoy.

ONE-POT CAPRESE PASTA
This dish tastes just like your favorite summer salad, only heartier. If you haven't tried a one-pot pasta yet, do: It's a great timesaving trick. Place all the ingredients in the pot together, add enough water and simmer. The noodles and sauce cook together, which means this dinner is ready in just 15 minutes. Stirring in the fresh mozzarella after the pasta has finished cooking creates an almost instant cream sauce, coating each noodle with a hint of cheese.

Steps:
- Start by bringing a large pot of water to boil. Add salt, about 1 tbsp for 3 quarts (3 liters) of water.
- Once water is boiling drop pasta, give a quick stir and let cook until 'al dente' which literally means "to the tooth". Pasta cooked 'al dente' might feel slightly undercooked for anyone who is used to eat well-cooked or even overcooked pasta but in really it just has a slight bite to it.And this is exactly how we want to cook pasta for this pasta salad.
- While pasta is cooking slice cherry tomatoes in half and drain mozzarella cheese from excess liquid. Mozzarella bites should about the size of cherry tomato halves. So if you're using large mozzarella balls cut it in cubes the size of the cherry tomato.
- Prepare basil sauce. Wash and pat dry basil leaves. They should be completely dry to prevent the sauce from turning brown.Using a hand-held blender or food processor pulse basil leaves with extra virgin olive oil and a few pinches of salt until you get a smooth paste. Keep the remaining basil leaves for later to add directly to the salad and if you wish for garnish.
- Once pasta is ready, drain it and quickly rinse with cold water.
- Place in a large bowl with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to prevent it from sticking as it cools. Let cool completely.
- Add basil sauce and mix well.
- Lastly add cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and remaining basil leaves torn by hand. Give a gentle toss and serve.
