Ridiculously easy spaghetti caprese

Resist the temptation to add extras like garlic, balsamic vinegar, olives, capers and the like, this dish is all about simplicity and the contrast between hot and cold.

Preparation Time

15 minutes

125 g spaghetti

3 ripe medium-sized vine tomatoes

1 small ball of buffalo mozzarella

a small handful of basil leaves

a generous splash of olive oil

salt and freshly ground pepper, to season

Cook the spaghetti until just tender in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.

Coarsely chop the tomatoes and mozzarella. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, a generous splash of olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper.

Drain the spaghetti and mix it into the tomatoes and mozzarella while it’s piping hot. And that’s it! Eat immediately.
