Description

Ingredients
Scale
Balsamic reduction:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Pasta:
- 10 ounces (approximately) angel hair pasta, or whatever your favorite pasta is
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- First, start your balsamic reduction by combining balsamic vinegar and sugar in small pot over medium low heat.
- Let cook until reduced for 20-25 minutes. It will be thickened and syrupy when finished.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring pot of water to boiling and cook pasta according to package.
- While water is heating up and oven is preheating, combine tomatos, olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, garlic, and salt. Toss to combine.
- Place on baking sheet (I lined mine with aluminum foil), and roast in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until tomatoes start to soften and break down.
- Once tomatoes and pasta are cooked, toss them together, along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and basil.
- Add goat cheese and toss gently.
- Finish off with balsamic reduction drizzle.
