This room-temperature pasta—almost a pasta salad, really—along with a big green salad, made the perfect dinner for a balmy summer evening.
In This RecipeA couple of hours before you plan to eat, core and roughly chop the tomatoes and tip them into a very large serving bowl. Add the chopped red onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, a few healthy pinches of salt and several grinds of pepper. Gently stir these all together and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour so the flavors have a chance to meld.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of very salty water until al dente. Meanwhile, dice the mozzarella and add it to the big bowl of tomatoes, onion, basil, etc. When the pasta is done, drain it thoroughly and add it to the bowl. Gently fold everything together and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if you’d like. Let the pasta sit for 5 minutes or so before serving, folding gently a couple of times to distribute the tomato juices and olive oil. Serve with a big green salad, or as an accompaniment to some nice, juicy grilled steaks.
