ingredients


Balsamic Vinegar

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

Pasta

3 heirloom tomatoes
1 cup fresh basil, julienne cut
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
12 ounces pasta, fresh or dried, such as fettuccine
1 teaspoon olive oil
fresh basil leaves, for garnish

directions

Pour the vinegar and salt into a small bowl, add olive oil, garlic and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt and pepper and mix. Taste for seasoning.

Wash and chop the tomatoes. Toss with the balsamic vinaigrette and the julienne basil leaves. Add the mozzarella.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta, bring to a boil and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes for fresh pasta or according to the directions on the package.

Toss the pasta with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent it from sticking and mix with the tomato-basil salad.

Divide the pasta among large, warmed dinner plates. Arrange several spoonfuls of the tomato-basil salad on top.
