This is a pasta that came from my brother in law Pasquale. He brought it home with him from Italy, and we love it! It is a really easy fun thing to make especially in the summer.
Ingredients:
1 lb spiral pasta (we use wheat but whatever floats your boat)
1 loaf fresh mozzarella (you can find 2 loafs at costco or you can usually find it near the deli in the grocery store)
4 medium roma tomatoes
2 cans black olives
olive oil
salt
Directions:
Boil pasta, while pasta is boiling dice the mozz and tomatoes and put in a large mixing bowl. Add olives (whole), then add pasta once cooked to desired softness and drained (if still hot run cold water over so it won't melt the mozz). Lightly coat with olive oil and then salt to taste (the salt brings out the taste in the mozz and the tomatoes so don't be stingy!)
All of the amounts of these ingredients can be varied, like less olives if you have olive dislikers in your fam or more mozz or whatever I just try to put an even amount of everything in.
I try to make lots so there are leftovers cuz its yummy that way too!
Enjoy!
Wow, this looks like something we would love. It's going on my to-make list!!
