Macaroni Alla Caprese



by Giada de Laurentiis


If you enjoy Caprese salad but want a meal - this is your ticket and it will make you very happy as well.... Children absolutely adore this dish (for them I use Farfalle or Fusilli pasta). I happened to watch Giada di Laurentiis absentmindedly while she made that dish... when she was almost done and started to oooh and aah about the flavor and such I paid attention but missed the recipe... anyway it 's not like this is difficult. but I forgot... Then the other day I flipped through her cookbook and there it was again... My blog will help me sort my recipes and such as with all the clippings, print outs and post it in my cookbooks I lose track of what I have done and want to do.... this is I guess the problem of all food and cook freaks..lol Anyway to come back to this easy , kid-friendly dish.... believe me it is done in a jiffy and i am sure will please the whole family. It is also a budget recipe that will come in handy at the end of the month or if you happened to get last minute guest...

Macaroni alla Caprese


4-6 servings
1 pound macaroni pasta
3 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves minced
3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 1 1/2 pints)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 1/4 cup)


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add Pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite... al dente... stirring occasionally, 8-10 Min. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl.


Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. As the tomatoes cook and soften, smash them with a fork. Continue to cook until the tomatoes make a chunky sauce, about 4 min. Add the tomato sauce to the bowls with the pasta and toss to combine. Stir in the basil leaves and mozzarella, then the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the pasta is moist. Serve.
