1
Chop the Tomatoes
Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the stems and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2
Grate the Cheeses
Grate the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese using a cheese grater.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
4
Prepare the Basil
Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Tear them into smaller pieces.

5
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
6
Add Tomatoes
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet with the garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
7
Incorporate Cheese
Stir in the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese into the tomato mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and combines with the tomatoes.
8
Finish with Basil
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
