Serves :   1                        Preparation Time : 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pint                       Cherry Tomatoes halved or Roma tomatoes cubed
  • 1 head                      roasted garlic
  • 2 tablespoons        drained capers
  • 2 tablespoons        olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon          balsamic vinegar, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup                   calamata olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup                   parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup                   basil, cut into thin slivers
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh mozzarella, as much as you like, cubed
  • fresh parmesan for garnish
  • To roast the garlic : Wrap the entire head of garlic in foil and bake for about 30-45 minutes in a 450 degree oven. You should be able to pierce the head easily with a fork. Let cool.

    • Cut the garlic head in half (across) and squeeze the pulp out. The cloves should ooze out easily. Combine all the rest of the ingredients with the garlic in a glass bowl and let it sit at room temperature while you boil the pasta of your choice. We like bow ties. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water to use if pasta nee Quickly drain the past and toss in the sauce. Grate fresh Parmesan on top.

    Serving Suggestion : We serve this with crusts of bread and a green salad

    NOTES: Be creative with this recipe. Change the cheese to smoked Gouda or whatever. You can add hot pepper flakes for more punch. All the quantities can be to your taste.
