Basil Spaghetti with Broiled Tomatoes


This is a great new recipe that i made the other night. It was very simple, easy and delicious!

Ingredients:
12 ounces of spaghetti noodles
3 large beefsteak tomatoes (cut into 4 think slices)
3 table spoons of olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
8 ounces of fresh mozzarella (grated)
1/4 cup of grated parmesan, plus more for serving
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
3/4 cup torn basil leaves, plus more for serving
salt and pepper

  • Heat broiler.
  • Cook past according to package directions; drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the tomato slices in a single layer on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan evenly on the tomato slices. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, usually about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, oil, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to pasta. Toss to combine. Serve with the tomatoes, additional basil and shaved parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
