Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, and oven roasted tomatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Stir in the basil pesto and heavy cream to the skillet, mixing well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pappardelle to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Add Bocconcini

    Gently fold in the Bocconcini Mozzarella until they begin to soften.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
