Super quick and easy mozzarella cheese pasta made with just four ingredients and done in under 15 minutes. This is pretty much what my kids live off these days! 
Servings 8 servings

Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 large heat safe bowl

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pasta, I like elbows or trottole
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 4-5 pinches coarse sea salt
  • 8 ounces freshly graded shredded mozzarella, pre-shredded also works

Method

  1. Fill a large pot with water until it's about 2/3 full. Bring the water to a boil and add in the pasta and fine sea salt. Stir and bring to a boil.

  2. Reduce the heat just a little so the water is boiling gently not violently for 5-6 minutes or until al dente (or as directed by your pasta bag).
  3. Strain the pasta and toss it with the the avocado oil. Use a little avocado oil to brush the edge of the bowl so the cheese doesn't stick too much.
    2 Tbsp avocado oil
  4. Place a few spoonfuls of noodles on the bottom of the bowl, top with a pinch of coarse sea salt and a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat until you've used up all the pasta and cheese.

  5. Microwave the pasta for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve warm!
