Best Pasta With Heirloom Tomatoes Fresh Mozzarella Basil And Balsamic Vinegar Recipes
BALSAMIC TOMATO-BASIL PASTA
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.
