Ingredients

  • 1 box Bowtie pasta
  • 16 tbsp Olive oil
  • 8 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 bag Basil (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 ball Fresh mozzarella (or 1 cup shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil and cook bowties for approximately 10 minutes then drain.
  • In a bowl mix the olive oil, balsamic and garlic. Once mixed throw in the cooked pasta and fold it. You should stir it quickly and not let it sit or the balsamic vinegar will soak more into some pieces of pasta versus others.
  • Next you can stir in the diced tomato, basil, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate for 1 hour.
