A delicious recipe for mozzarella alla pizzaiola, made with fresh cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and a rich tomato sauce. Perfect for serving with bread for 'scarpetta'.
1: Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, then cut them in half and remove the excess water.
2: Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with the peeled garlic clove in a pan.
3: Add the cherry tomatoes and cook on high heat for a few minutes.
4: Add the passata di pomodoro and a pinch of salt, and mix well.
5: Cook on high heat for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to minimum and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
6: Cut the mozzarella into thick slices and add it to the sauce.
7: Keep the heat low and cover with a lid so the mozzarella melts with the sauce's heat.
8: Add some dried oregano and serve the mozzarella alla pizzaiola directly in the pan, accompanied by plenty of bread for scarpetta.
