As the summer months are slowly coming upon us we start looking for lighter recipes and the other night we made two great dishes centered around balsamic. These recipes were a couple of make up as you go dishes with what we had laying around the kitchen, let me do my best to explain to you how you can make these dishes for yourself. Trust me you want to because they were very delicious!
Pasta:
-Finley chop half a white onion
-Cut about a 2 cups of cherry tomatoes into halves
-Mince about four cloves of garlic
-Finley chop half a white onion
-Cut about a 2 cups of cherry tomatoes into halves
-Mince about four cloves of garlic
-Place all the chopped items in a sauce pan on medium heat
-Add a half a cup of olive oil to the sauce pan
-Add a quarter cup of balsamic to the sauce pan
-Let all the items caramelize in the sauce pan
(please excuse the mess on the stove- when we cook we make a mess)
-While the items in the sauce pan are caramelizing starting cooking whole wheat spaghetti noodles in a large pot
-When the noodles have finished drain, place in bowl and top with contents of sauce pan
-Add some fresh mozzarella balls to the top
-Top with fresh Parmesan and serve
Salad:
Fill salad bowl with:
-Spinach
-Granny Smith Apples
-Pine nuts
-Goat cheese
-Top it all off with Balsamic dressing
-Toss and serve

My MIL is in the fine food business and uses cherry tomatoes in so many fantastic recipes (when they're in season) - I will try these.
