Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 clove garlic, smashed and finely minced
  • 1 kilo tomatoes, chopped, (2 lbs)
  • 250 grams Mozzarella Cheese, diced in 1/2 inch pieces, (1/2 lb)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 500 grams dry short pasta, like medium shells, spirals, etc., (1 lb)

Instructions
 

  • Add the first 5 ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Toss together to coat everything with the oil. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside to let the flavors combine.
  • While the tomato mixture is set aside, cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until tender. Drain well.
  • Toss the pasta with the tomato mixture to combine.
  • Serve as a light dinner with garlic bread if desired.

Notes

The cheese would be the only big expense here. About 140 Baht for 200 grams, just going with the 200 instead of 250 grams, for 6 servings, this is about 73 cents per serving.
