What could be easier than cooking pasta in sauce in one pot?! No need to wait for the water to boil: all the ingredients are combined in one pot, and as the pasta cooks, the sauce thickens and coats it perfectly. Linguine pasta in a fragrant pesto sauce with chunks of tomato and gooey mozzarella is perfect for a quick, delicious dinner after a day at work. For even more flavor, toss in some soppressata sausage.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 340 g linguine pasta, broken in half
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup halved grape tomatoes (140 g)
  • 0.5 cup pesto
  • 110 g (4 oz) Cilieggina mozzarella balls, quartered (3/4 cup)
  • 85 g sopressata, cut into 1 cm pieces (optional)



We recommend

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the linguine pasta, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a 4-quart saucepan and cover with 4.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking, until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes and pesto and stir until the tomatoes begin to soften, distributing the pesto evenly. Add up to 1/4 cup more hot water if the sauce is too thick. Remove from heat. Stir in the mozzarella and soppressata. Divide the pasta among 4 bowls and serve.

    Note:

    The success of this dish depends on the specific shape of the pasta, so we do not recommend substituting linguine with another pasta.
