Amount Ingredient
8 oz Fusilli or other pasta
1 tbl Balsamic vinegar
6 x Plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped, (use canned to save time)
1 cup Torn fresh basil, (dont use dried, wont be the same)
1/2 cup Chopped red onions
Salt and black pepper
Instructions:
Instructions: Italian Favorites. My 11-yr-old daughter, who currently hates pasta, liked this :-)

Cook the fusili in a large pot of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender; drain well. (I used bionature whole wheat fusilli)

While the fusilli is cooking;, in a mdedium bowl, combine the vinegar, tomatoes, basil, and onions; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve tomatoes over fusilli and sprinke with Parmesan, if desired.

Serves 4.

Note: Our tomatoes arent quite ready yet, so I used canned. I dont use Parmesan cheese. The original called for 1TBS oil, which I left out completely. If desired, you can use a little of the pasta water to help the tomatoes stick to the pasta. I doubled the recipe, tossed together, chilled and took to a block party...went fast. Added chunks of tofu and had for lunch as well :-)
