Pasta Caprese
Instructions
In a 4-quart saucepan, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil over high heat.
Add spaghetti, and cook according to package directions for the shortest recommended time, about 6 minutes. (Whole-wheat pasta tends to fall apart if overcooked.)
Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and set aside. Drain spaghetti.
Add the spaghetti back into the pasta pot. Toss with olive oil and just enough reserved water to coat well.
Add the tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and olives. Toss gently until well mixed.
Divide pasta evenly among four dinner plates (about 2¼ cups each). Serve immediately.
