August 20, 2013 By Sweetphi Leave a Comment

orecchiette with cherry tomatoes basil mozzarella and olive oil

This past weekend I had a ton of errands of run and needed something quick to make for lunch so I’d get everything done. This meal literally took 15 minutes from start to finish (including me walking to the garden and picking tomatoes and basil) and tasted so fresh! When I posted a preview on Instagram I said how I couldn’t stop using the word Fresh…Fresh pasta, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, fresh tomatoes…you get the point haha. 

So here is the super easy way to make this:

Yield: 2-4

  • 1 Tbs shredded parmesan cheese
