Spaghetti con Pomodoro Crudo

From Actress and Author Sophia Loren

 

Ingredients

 

1 1/2 pounds spaghetti

2 pounds tomatoes, not quite ripe, chopped

1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

2 medium red or Vidalia onions (or less), thinly sliced

1/4 cup pitted Sicilian green olives, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons drained capers

1/4 cup minced Italian parsley

10 to 12 chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried

1 to 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (I used 1/3 cup)

Freshly grated Parmigiano cheese (optional)

 

Directions

1. Cook the pasta until just al dente. While the pasta is cooking,

place in

a large serving bowl the tomatoes, mozzarella, onions, olives, capers,

parsley, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the oil

over

and toss gently.

2. When pasta is ready, pour it into a colander and quickly rinse it

under

cold water; drain well and add the warm spaghetti to the bowl. Toss to

combine, remove the garlic if desired, and serve. Pass the cheese at

the

table.
