This is my version of a copycat recipe from a wonderful Italian restaurant in Annapolis, MD, MARIA'S SICILIAN RISTORANTE. We fight over seconds in this household!
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) box linguine
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced (suit to your taste)
4 -6 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons dried basil or 4 -5 leaves fresh basil, minced
1 fresh mozzarella ball, diced (not the block of hard mozzarella)
salt
Directions:
1. Bring pot of water to boil. Salt heavily. Add linguini. Cook to al dente, drain.
2. Drizzle oil in large skillet, aprx. 4 rotations. throw in onions and saute on medium for about 2 minutes.
3. Add garlic, basil, salt to taste and 1-2 tsp butter and saute until onions are soft. You do not want to burn the garlic so watch temp accordingly.
4. Add tomatoes and linguine, toss until heated then add mozzarella. Heat until cheese begins to soften.
