Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g pasta (butterfly pasta)
• 500 g tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 300 g mozzarella (buffalo mozzarella)
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 6 tbsp lemon juice
• salt and pepper
• Basil leaves

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 12 hours 40 minutes

It’s also less difficult and very tasty!

Cook the butterfly pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and lemon juice. Peel the garlic and add it to the marinade, either finely chopped or crushed. Dice the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper. Dice the buffalo mozzarella and add it to the marinade along with the diced tomatoes. In the meantime, the pasta should be ready. Drain it and add it to the bowl while it’s still hot. This allows the cheese to blend with the hot pasta. The cooled salad should be refrigerated overnight. Before eating, stir in fresh basil leaves.
