This was interesting. I'm not sure I'll make it again though. The leftovers weren't great. Meh.
Basil Spaghetti with Cheesy Broiled Tomatoes
Courtesy of Real Simple
12
ounces
spaghetti
3
large beefsteak tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), each cut into 4 thick slices
3
tablespoons
olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet
Kosher salt and black pepper
8
ounces
fresh mozzarella, grated
1/4
cup
grated Parmesan (1 ounce), plus more, shaved, for serving
2
cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 to 1/2
teaspoon
crushed red pepper
3/4
cup
torn fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
Heat broiler. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, arrange the tomato slices
in a single layer on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Season with ¼
teaspoon each
salt and black pepper. Dividing evenly,
sprinkle the slices with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Broil until the
cheese is bubbly
and golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, warm the oil with the garlic and red pepper over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the garlic oil, basil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve topped with
the tomatoes, additional basil, and shaved Parmesan.
