Pasta con crema di pomodorini e mozzarella | Il sugo semplice che sorprende

🍅 TODAY'S QUICK LUNCH IS A MUST-TRY! Today I'm making a pasta dish that starts with very simple ingredients but has a truly special flavor. The secret? The cherry tomatoes are caramelized in a pan with garlic and oil, then part of them are blended with mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and a drop of the cooking water. The result is a velvety cream that envelops the pasta, while the whole cherry tomatoes add freshness and texture. A recipe ready in about 15 minutes, perfect when you want a tasty dish without complicating your day. INGREDIENTS (serves 2) 200g mezze maniche 20 cherry tomatoes 1 garlic clove extra virgin olive oil fresh basil chili pepper (optional) salt grated Parmigiano Reggiano (or pecorino) ½ mozzarella pasta cooking water DIRECTIONS Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the mezze maniche. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil and the garlic clove in a pan. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cut side down, and cook without moving them for a few minutes, until well caramelized. Add salt, chili pepper, and plenty of basil. Remove about half the cherry tomatoes and transfer them to a blender along with the half mozzarella, a generous handful of Parmigiano Reggiano (or pecorino), a drizzle of olive oil, a few basil leaves, and a little of the pasta cooking water. Blend until smooth and velvety. Drain the pasta al dente and toss it in the pan with the remaining cherry tomatoes. Pour in the tomato and mozzarella cream, adding a little more of the pasta cooking water if necessary, until the sauce is creamy and perfectly coats the pasta. Finish with more Parmigiano Reggiano and a few fresh basil leaves. ⸻ 💡 My tip: use very ripe cherry tomatoes and let them caramelize slowly. This step makes the sauce truly different from the usual.
