For My Fellow Foodies

So, for lunch today I decided to make my "signature" dish. It doesn't have a name because I have yet to give it one. Basically, it's just a homemade tomato sauce with fresh ingredients and pasta with mozzarella. It is so delicious and satisfying you'll be making it a lot more than you presumed. 

How do you make it, you ask? I'm going to break it down for you! 

First you will need:

  • Tomatoes
  • Garlic
  • Olive Oil
  • Basil
  • Mozzarella
  • Salt and Pepper for taste
For this particular batch, I used two tomatoes, 1 clove of garlic, about a 1/4 cup of olive oil (you can eyeball it), about 10 leaves of basil, and a half of a ball of mozzarella. Finally, salt and pepper for taste. 


On a medium heat, let the olive oil heat up while you're chopping your tomatoes and garlic. First, add the tomatoes to the olive oil. Wait a few minutes and add the garlic. Let them all simmer together and let the flavors meld. 


Next, add a few leafs of basil, chopped. 


Boil some water for the pasta. Any pasta works for this dish. As the pasta boils, bring the sauce down to a low simmer. 


Cut up the mozzarella into small cubes.


Once the pasta is done boiling and the tomato sauce has melded together, strain the pasta. Put the pasta in a bowl of your choice and add the sauce. 


Then add the mozzarella and basil! 


Mix everything up (make sure the mozzarella has melted). Enjoy!
