A genius pasta recipe

TAKING AN ITALIAN CLASSIC & MAKING A GREAT PASTA

I really don't get it why this pasta is not already popular. It's the perfect pasta for both Winter and Summer, and you can make it in no time.

It doesn't matter though. You and me can be the ones to enjoy it first.. we'll tell the others later :)

LET's MAKE IT!

Prep Time: 15 Min

Cook Time: 1 HR

Ingredients

350 gr Orecchiette pasta  1 or 2 heads of garlic a large bowl of cherry tomatoes (about 20/25) Belmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil 3 tablespoons of Saporoso balsamic vinegar

Prep Time: 15 Min

Cook Time: 1 HR

..Ingredients

fresh or frozen basil leaves 60 gr grated parmesan cheese 2 packs mozzarella mini balls  salt and pepper

Start by putting one or two heads of garlic in some foil and bake them in a preheated oven for 50 minutes. PS: This is the longest step

Step 1

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

Step 2

Take one bag of mini mozzarella and cut them in half.

Step 3

Boil the water for the pasta, seasoning it with plenty of salt and filling the pot with plenty of water.

Step 4

Take a pan, drizzle some Belmorso extra virgin olive oil, add the cherry tomatoes and the bag of whole mozzarella balls. Leave to saute', and later season with salt and pepper, and add the basil leaves as many as you like.

Step 5

Throw the orecchiette to cook.

Step 6

Take the garlic out of the oven, open the foil and leave it to cool.

Step 7

Drain the pasta, add it to a bowl, add the cooked cherry tomatoes & mozzarella, add the rest of the mozzarella, the grated parmesan, the balsamic, and more extra virgin olive oil.

Step 8

Finally add the squeezed roasted garlic, and mix until combined. You can use some  cooking water set aside when mixing everything together. Serve and enjoy.

Step 9

I promise this is really easy to make. The only thing that takes longer is roasting the garlic, but the extra flavour this gives makes it super worth it, I am sure you'll agree once you try the recipe.
