Tomatoes, fresh basil and smoky mozzarella go together beautifully. Add pasta and a splash of balsamic vinegar and you've got a wonderful meal.

Ingredients

Uncooked fusilli

8 oz, or other spiral pasta

Balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp, or more to taste

Olive oil

2 tsp

Dried oregano

½ tsp

Cherry tomatoes

1 cup(s), or grape tomatoes, halved

Fresh basil

½ cup(s), fresh, chopped

Whole milk low moisture mozzarella cheese

2 oz, smoked, diced (1/2 cup)

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add vinegar, oil and oregano; toss to coat.
  2. Fold in tomatoes, basil and mozzarella; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try sun-dried tomatoes: Place 1/4 cup of dried sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with boiling water; set aside for 10 minutes to allow the tomatoes to plump up. Drain well and substitute them for half the cherry tomatoes.
