To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have tomato and mozzarella penne pasta using 9 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
  1. Make ready 1/2 cup olive oil
  2. Take 6 cloves garlic
  3. Take 6-8 tomatoes (I personally like Roma, or cherry/grape tomatoes)
  4. Prepare 1/2 tsp salt
  5. Take 1 bunch basil
  6. Make ready 8 oz mozzarella (if you love mozzarella, shoot for double!)
  7. Prepare 1 lb penne pasta
  8. Take to taste parmesan
  9. Get to taste crushed red pepper flakes

Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Remove the garlic, if you like, from the marinated tomatoes and toss in the basil. Drain the pasta, add it to the bowl of tomatoes, and toss well to mix. Check the seasoning, adding salt and more crushed red pepper if necessary.

Instructions to make Tomato and mozzarella penne pasta:
  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute. Remember that 1 clove is about 1 or 2 tsp. Be careful not to burn it!
  2. Pour garlic and oil into a large bowl. This should be the bowl where everything eventually goes into.
  3. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cook your penne. While this cooks, this is a good time to cut your tomatoes and mozzarella into diced pieces. If you can find the mozzarella that is already in "pearl" form, that makes things easier.
  4. Put your diced tomatoes, salt, and basil in the large bowl.
  5. Put diced mozzarella in a smaller, separate bowl. Pour in a little bit of olive oil - just enough to coat them. Believe me, this is important, unless you want all of the mozzarella to stick in one big clump..
  6. Once pasta is cooked, strain and pour it into the large bowl. Immediately, you'll want to add in the mozzarella and stir it all up while the noodles are hot.
  7. Stir thoroughly. Add parmesan and red pepper flakes to taste.
  8. Optional: If you can get your hands on fig balsamic glaze, this is a very nice addition to add some sweetness to it.
  9. Can be served hot or cold. I like it hot, my dad likes it cold, so it's really just a matter of opinion. Enjoy!
  10. Also, you could add some baby spinach leaves, if you want some greens!

Enjoy the bright, fresh flavors of tomato and basil in this quick and easy dish. Toss hot pasta with sauteed garlic and scallions; add chopped tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil and olives. Sweet grape tomatoes are simmered with garlic and then combined with three types of cheese - pepperjack, mozzarella, and Parmesan - to create this Mediterranean-style pasta dish. Remove the mozzarella balls from the oil and set aside. Place cooled pasta in a large mixing bowl.
