Orecchiette pasta with pesto, roasted tomatoes and mozzarella
Every Wednesday in our house it's pasta night.....even when I was a little girl.
I always looked forward to eating any version of pasta...Lasagna, Stuffed Shells and
my family's secret sauce for spaghetti...Throw in a side salad and and some garlic
bread and this girl is in heaven. Last night, I threw together this dish and it was
really easy and very flavorful! I hope you enjoy.
Orecchiette Pasta With Pesto, Roasted Tomatoes And Mozzarella
1 bag orecchiette pasta
pesto, homemade or store bought
1 container cherry tomatoes
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic, chopped
1 container mozzarella balls, cut in half
salt and pepper
garlic salt
1) Preheat oven to 350 and roast the onions for about 30 to 40 min then put the
tomatoes on the same cookie sheet with garlic, salt, pepper and garlic salt cook
for 10 minutes.
2) In the mean time cook pasta until al dente
3) When pasta is done put the pesto and mix. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, onions
and mozzarella. Enjoy!
