  • Marinate for at least an hour the mozzarella balls in 1 tbs of olive oil and parsley and 1 tsp salt and pepper.
  • After water has boiled place 1/2 lb of Fusilli pasta for 12 minutes if desire is al dente.
  • While pasta is in boiling water cut cherry tomatos into bite size, if tomatoes are too small, leave in one piece. Add 1 tbs of olive oil and 1 tsp of salt and marinate outside of refrigerator. (Salt is so tomatoes won't lose their juice).

  • Place pasta in serving container and mix cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella balls.
  • Serve and enjoy.

  1. Since I really like mozzarella, & it's sometimes difficult to find the very small balls of it, I used a very mounded 1/2 cup measure of my latest batch just for this recipe! OUTSTANDING combo of the cheese & tomatoes, & just the right amount of spices to suit us! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
