Simple, quick, and delicious! Ready in 10 minutes

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into many small cubes (about the size of peas) in a soup bowl (to catch the liquid). Place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and slice the mozzarella in the same way. Then add the mozzarella to the tomatoes. Season with oil, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves. You’ll usually need quite a bit, but experiment! The spiciness of the pepper will also matter. Mix everything together and, if you like, let it sit for a short while to allow the basil flavor to develop better (about 10 minutes). Serve the cold “sauce” over the hot penne. Tip: This “sauce” also tastes delicious on toast for breakfast.
