1/2 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/3 cup water |

1/4 cup red wine vinegar or 1/4 cup cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup sliced green onion |

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
