Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced zucchinis and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but still crisp, stirring frequently.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet with the zucchinis. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the tomatoes have started to soften and release their juices, creating a light sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the zucchini and tomato mixture.
- Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the cubed mozzarella cheese and chopped basil leaves. The heat from the pasta and vegetables should slightly melt the mozzarella, creating a creamy, delicious finish.
- Transfer the pasta to serving plates or a large serving bowl. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy this heavenly gluten-free dish while it's warm!
Tips:
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Substitute regular pasta with your favorite brand of gluten-free pasta to keep the dish gluten-free.
- Cut the zucchini into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use low moisture mozzarella to prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the black pepper.
