Ingredients

  • 6 boxes San Giorgio thin spaghetti
  • 20 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 48 ounces mozzarella snacking balls, about 6 containers
  • 30 ounces tomato paste
  • 3 yellow onions, diced
  • 2 heads garlic, minced
  • 3 cups freshly torn basil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups cups oregano, chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • grated parmesan cheese to taste

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to box directions.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet with ¼ cup olive oil on medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes, onions and garlic and cook until tomatoes are soft enough to easily smash with the back of a wooden spoon. Lightly smash all the tomatoes (this part is fun!)
  • Add tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt & pepper. Continue cooking until sauce begins to lightly boil.
  • When pasta is finished cooking, drain and toss with sauce. Add mozzarella balls, top with Parmesan and fresh basil.
