Pasta Margherita

I loved this dish! It was easy to make and the leftovers (which I ate two nights later) were still really good. I don't know where I got this recipe.

4 servings.

8 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped green onions (about 2)
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic (I minced two garlic cloves)
1 (16 ounce) package cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup diced fresh mozzarella

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain. Place in a large bowl.

While pasta cooks, combine basil, onions, garlic, and tomatoes in a food processor. Pulse 10 times or until coarsely chopped. Add Parmesan to pasta, stirring until cheese melts. Stir in tomato mixture, olive oil, salt, and pepper, toss gently to coat pasta. Top with mozzarella.
