The aziago cheese in this recipe makes it a bold flavor that will be complimented, not overpowered by Cabernet or Merlot. It will even stand up to a Chianti.
A Midsummer Evening's Pasta
serves 2
2 cups of dry Farfalle (bowtie) pasta
2 roma tomatoes
1 cup of fresh basil leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
1 TBS. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup of freshly shredded Aziago cheese.
Boil pasta in water with an extra drop of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Cook pasta until it is al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, dice the tomatoes and mix them with the fresh basil and olive oil. Adjust taste with salt and pepper.
When pasta is done cooking, drain it and put it in a serving bowl, immediately adding the tomato and basil mixture and the aziago cheese. Mix it to warm the additional ingredients and melt the cheese. Serve warm.
