Caprese Pasta

You are going to learn quickly that I love Italian type foods, especially with tomatoes and basil in them. This is a dish that I got from my best friend. Another great dish to bring to potlucks. Makes a great side or entree. Goes great with garlic bread. My picky eater loves it, as long as I throw in diced up tomatoes instead of cherub tomatoes. I personally prefer the cherub tomatoes. It's sweet and tangy, and pretty healthy if you look past the pasta. 

Ingredients

1 box of penne pasta

2 cartons of chreub tomatoes, or 2 tomatoes diced up

Julienned basil

1 big block of fresh mozerella cheese, diced up

brown sugar to taste

garlic powder to taste

salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil and Basalmic Vinegar to taste

Directions

Very easy recipe. Basically cook your pasta according to directions on box. Once finished cooking, add your olive oil and vinegar, and toss with tomatoes, basil, and cheese. Add the sugar and seasonings to taste. I know some people that prefer to eat this cold, and some people like to eat it hot. I actually prefer it at room temperature. Anyway.. you can't lose!
