Sounds impressive and complicated, doesn't it? It isn't. It's super simple.
RECIPE: Bowtie Neapolitan
Ingredients:
Pasta
Oil
Onion
Tomato
Basil
Garlic
Basil
Chives (optional)
Salt & Pepper
Method:
> boil water in a pot and cook noodles as recommended on the package
> chop and fry one onion in the oil over fairly high heat; you will make the sauce and shred the cheese in the time it takes the pasta to cook
> chop and add two tomatoes
> chop and add garlic, basil, and chives
> finish with salt and pepper
> chop or shred some fresh or aged mozzarella (or ANY other cheese)
> drain the pasta
> toss the pasta in the sauce
> add the cheese either to the pot and toss or leave it separate to self-serve at the table
This one takes 10 minutes, start to finish (if you start with a pot of water that is already hot from the tap).
It's a great side to any dinner or lunch and is great served hot or cold. If serving cold, do not toss the cheese in while the pasta and sauce are hot.
