Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz angel hair or linguine pasta
  • 3 cups cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese cut into small cubes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves torn or chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving optional

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large wide pot or deep skillet over medium; sauté garlic 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add tomatoes and oregano; stir 2-3 minutes until tomatoes start softening.
  3. Add broth; boil, submerge pasta, and stir gently.
  4. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid absorbed; pasta continues absorbing liquid as it sits.
  5. Off heat, immediately stir in mozzarella and basil; season with salt and pepper. Cheese starts melting into creamy pockets.
  6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze; top with extra fresh basil and optional Parmesan and serve warm.
