Summer Spaghetti

   While the water is boiling, add the shredded mozzerella and parmesian cheeses to the salted tomatoe/basil mixture. toss and let set.

4. 4

   Cook the spaghetti according to package directions and put in a large colander to drain. Do not rinse. Shake water off spaghetti and immediately put in large bowl with tomatoe/basil/cheese mixture. Lightly toss with plastic or wood spoon. Put lid on bowl and toss again, holding lid in place. Turn bowl upside down to make sure mixture coats spaghetti. Remove lid and serve immediately.

5. 5

   FYI: Plastic is used because metal conducts heat and moves it away from the spaghetti. Don't want that to happen. The longer it stays hot the better. The cheese will melt and coat the spaghetti. There may be clumps of cheese as it cools, but that's okay. It tastes wonderful with the basil and fresh tomatoes.
