Caprese Pasta

• 8 ounces buffalo mozzarella, brie or 8 ounces light cream cheese, cubed
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, snipped into ribbons
• 8 tomatoes, chopped
• 8 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to taste, as desired
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 lb linguine

1. In a medium bowl, combine your choice of cubed cheese with the basil, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and black pepper, and stir well, using a fork.
2. Add a little more olive oil, as desired, to prevent mixture from becoming too dry.
3. Allow sauce to sit while you prepare linguine according to package directions.
4. Immediately after draining linguine, toss with sauce and allow to sit for a moment while the cheese melts a bit from the heat of the pasta.
5. Stir, serve, and enjoy!
