Expert Tips

Ripe tomatoes at their peak of flavor are essential to this simple but satisfying combination. Those mealy, weak-colored tomatoes just won't do, thank you. Serve with breadsticks and a nice medium- to light-bodied red wine.

    I make this all summer long. I grow basil in my planters just for this purpose. The fresher the mozzerella the better!
