Ingredients

fresh egg pasta
250 g
mozzarella balls (cow or buffalo)
2 unit
About 10-15 small tomatoes or 4/5 larger tomatoes (you need about the same amount as the mozzarella)
1 unit
A good handful of basil leaves
about 15-20

Salt and black pepper

Method

Chop the mozzarella and the tomatoes roughly and put them in a big salad type dish.

Now tear up the basil and sprinkle it over the mozzarella and tomatoes.

Drizzle on lots of extra virgin olive oil - at least 3 tablespoons (I usually do more!)

Finally add a really good amount of salt and just a little black pepper. The salt will start to leech moisture out from the other ingredients and create a sauce.

Wait!

When you're ready, boil up the egg pasta, drain when cooked al dente (as usual) and then pour, still hot, on the other ingredients. Stir it up well, coating everything very well, and serve.
