A simple yet flavorful pasta dish combining fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic for a delightful meal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
While the pasta cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh basil.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the freshness of the ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a cup of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the tomato mixture, adding reserved pasta water as needed to adjust consistency.
Add the pasta water gradually to achieve the desired sauce texture.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and gently fold into the pasta mixture.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cheese pieces intact.
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
