Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce
Top this tasty blend of homemade pasta sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese with hot spaghetti for a deliciously cheesy dinner.
Serves: serves 4
Ingredients:
- 12 oz (375 g) ripe fresh tomatoes
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- a handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- a sprig of fresh oregano
- 3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 oz (150 g) mozzarella cheese, cubed
Directions:
- A couple of hours before you plan to eat, peel and finely chop the tomatoes.
- Put tomatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, basil leaves, oregano, and grated Parmesan. Leave to macerate for 2 hours.
- Put the cubes of mozzarella into the dish in which you plan to serve the pasta.
