TBM is a family favorite: fresh, easy and delicious!

---

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
2 balls of mozzarella (we typically get more though because everyone picks at it as I am slicing it up)
one package pasta (this was always a penne dish but the tri-color rotini looks much more fun!)
2-3 large tomatoes
1bunch of fresh mozzarella
1/2 sweet onion
2-3 cloves of fresh garlic
1/4 C EVOO (I’m guessing at this amount – I usually just pour it until it looks covered)
S&P to taste
sometimes I add a little fresh oregano when it’s growing fresh outside – but the flavor is strong so go easy)

Preparation:
Boil water to cook your pasta
Get out a large platter and slice your butter and mozzarella onto the platter.
Chop the tomato, basil, onion, garlic (oregano if you use it) and combine in a mixing bowl
Toss together with EVOO and S&P and set aside (I like to do this a little in advance to allow for flavors to blend.  I don’t refrigerate it – just room temp)
When the water boils add your pasta and cook to the box directions (do not overcook this pasta!)
Drain and pour unrinsed pasta right over the butter and mozzarella.
Toss the hot pasta to melt the butter and cheese
Pour the tomato and basil mixture over the pasta.

Serve her up!!
