Food is Good #2: Capellini Caprese


I LOVE anything with the word "caprese" in it. Fresh basil...Hello, friend.

Here's a kraftfoods.com recipe:

CAPELLINI CAPRESE

1/2 lb. capellini or spaghetti
1/2 c. KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing and Marinade
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. halved grape or cherry tomatoes
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese (if you buy it in the ball form, it's hard to shred, so I buy a block because it's cheaper and shred it myself. Feel free to buy pre-shredded.)
1/3 c. fresh basil, chopped roughly

Cook pasta like package tells you to.

Heat dressing in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Drain pasta. Add to tomato mixture; toss lightly. Sprinkle with cheese and basil. Consume.
