A delightful pasta dish combining creamy cheese, fresh basil, and ripe tomatoes for a quick and satisfying meal.
Combine the fresh mozzarella, light cream cheese, chopped basil, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
Drain the cooked linguine and immediately toss it with the prepared sauce mixture.
The heat from the pasta will slightly melt the cheese, creating a creamy texture.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
For an extra touch, drizzle a little olive oil over the top before serving.
