Ruote with bufala mozzarella rocket and cherry tomatoes.
As summer nears, this is the perfect combination for a quick, healthy and nutritious recipe also suitable as part of a family barbecue or picnic. It can also be a great snack for your lunch break.
Buffalo mozzarella is not only nutritious, but it is irreplaceable and very difficult to replicate. Many have tried from Australia, to Argentina, the US and others and most will admit to failure. It is now a DOP (a protected food under EU rules like Parmigiano, Parma ham and Cheddar cheese).
Its moisture is what makes this recipe so rich and inviting. It has 3 main ingredients and for that reason they must be top notch: don't use cheap supermarket brand mozzarella as you will be disappointed.

Ingredients:
300g small cherry tomatoes (halved),
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped,
50g finely chopped rocket salad,
60g parmesan cheese (grated),
5 tbsps. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO),
Salt and black pepper,
1 tbsp. chilli oil,
200g Mozzarella di Bufala diced,
300g Ruote Garofalo.

Method:
In a frying pan, put the EVOO and the finely chopped garlic, warm through and then add the halved tomatoes. Cook gently for 3-4 minutes check seasoning and set aside to cool completely. When cool, add the grated parmesan and the chilli oil (or some chilli flakes), the diced buffalo mozzarella.
On a chopping board place the washed rocket and chop roughly and set aside.
In the meantime, boil a copious amount of water (at least one litre per each 100 g of pasta), and when boiling add 2 tbsp. of rock salt, add the pasta and stir well. The right al dente time for Garofalo Ruote is 11 minutes. To enjoy fully the Garofalo flavour and ite\, stick to the advised cooking time! (Remember to always keep half a glass of the boiling water to loosen up the sauce and add creaminess to the finished dish).
