Ingrédients
- 1 8 ounce package penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon basil oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
- 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Cook pasta in boiling water until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat both oils over medium-high heat. Allow the garlic to cook until it becomes soft, which usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and reduce the heat to medium, allowing the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Then, incorporate the pepper Jack, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese begins to melt. Finally, mix in the cooked penne pasta and season the dish with fresh basil for added flavor.
