Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 300 g pasta
  • 1 shallot(s)
  • 1 ball of mozzarella
  • 1 bunch of basil
  • 50 cl olive oil
  • 50 cl balsamic vinegar

  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 25 minutes

Cook the pasta al dente. It really needs a bit of bite. In the meantime, finely dice the shallots, place them in a bowl, and season with salt. Chop the tomatoes and basil. Shake the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in an empty jar. Add the tomatoes and basil to the bowl with the hot pasta, then add the vinegar and oil mixture. Stir gently. Let cool at room temperature for 2 hours. Cut the mozzarella into small pieces and add to the salad.
