A fun variation on the flavors of a Caprese salad! I recommend using good quality ingredients, as the recipe depends on only a handful of them to really shine. This was given to me by my aunt at my bridal shower.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces buffalo mozzarella, brie or 8 ounces light cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup fresh basil, snipped into ribbons
8 tomatoes, chopped
8 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to taste, as desired
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb linguine

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine your choice of cubed cheese with the basil, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and black pepper, and stir well, using a fork.
  • Add a little more olive oil, as desired, to prevent mixture from becoming too dry.
  • Allow sauce to sit while you prepare linguine according to package directions.
  • Immediately after draining linguine, toss with sauce and allow to sit for a moment while the cheese melts a bit from the heat of the pasta.
  • Stir, serve, and enjoy!
