Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Pasta recipe

Made this in 10 minutes (the time it took to boil the water and cook the pasta). Excellent even though I had to substitute for the seasonings!

The balsamic vinegar discolors the pasta, but the taste is great. Next time I’ll increase the basil and add it just before serving so it doesn’t get lost. Everyone loved it!

Made this for a baby shower and it was a big hit! I added black olives and chives instead of basil. I had to make two batches so one batch was with dry seaoning mixed with balsamic, that was ok. second batch used balsamic vinagerette salad dresssing and alot better!.

I made this the nite before and the next day it was not that great. The mozz cheese was soggy and did not have a great taste. I guess this would be ok if you ate it right after you cook it.

This is a really delicious dish, but the first time I made it I thought it was a bit dry and more food than we needed. So I tweaked it a bit: used only 1 pound of tomatoes (the grape tomatoes are great -- cut in half), and only 8 oz. of pasta. It was much more moist this way and was a big hit at our Labor Day cookout!

This is a very fresh meal to make. My family and I loved it. I added just a little bit more olive oil and basil to make it complete!
