Summer Spaghetti Salad

 

Recipe By : " Cooking for Madam " by Marta Sgrubin with Nancy Nicholas

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Vegetarian Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

16 ounces mozzarella cheese

5 ripe tomatoes -- peeled, seeded and

coarsely chopped

1 cup fresh basil leaves -- coarsely chopped

1 large clove garlic -- pressed

2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 thin spaghetti -- (16 ounces)

Salt and pepper

 

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

 

Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the

tomatoes, basil and garlic in another bowl.

 

When the water is boiling hard, add 2 tablespoons salt and the oil. Add the

spaghetti and cook just until it is al dente. Do not overcook. Quickly drain the

spaghetti and return it at once to the warm pot. Immediately stir in the

mozzarella; the heat of the pasta will melt it slightly. Stir in the contents of

the other bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl

and serve at room temperature.

 

Serves 4 to 6.
