This super tasty recipe came from a co-worker who's wealthy family always made sure to serve this at their fancy summer parties. It is a snap to put together, making it perfect for families who want a meal in a hurry, or the host of party who wants something spectacular that won't keep them in the kitchen instead of with their guests. Either way, you will get the same rave reviews that I have over the years. Ingredients:
1 lb any type pasta, your preference |
1 bunch fresh basil |
4 -6 garden fresh tomatoes, diced |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, chopped |
1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 teaspoon oregano |
Directions:
1. Prep the tomatoes, garlic, etc- before boiling the pasta.
2. Boil pasta while making the rest of the dish.
3. Saute garlic in olive oil.
4. Add tomatoes and cover, simmering for 7-10 minutes with the balsamic vinegar and seasonings until tomatoes fall apart.
5. Cut basil leaves and toss all ingredients together, including Parmesan cheese.
6. Serve additional Parmesan on the side, if desired.
