Instructions

Step 1

Cook Banza: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add Banza and cook according to package directions.

Step 2

Make Sauce: While pasta cooks, heat butter and 3 tbsp olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and garlic cloves and cook until tomatoes are blistered and saucy, 8-10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, smash garlic cloves against the side of the pot once soft.

Step 3

Finish Pasta: Remove pot from heat and stir in mozzarella and basil, mixing well so the cheese starts to melt. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
