1 lb fresh lasagna or 1 lb linguine pasta (I cheated and used whole wheat spaghetti)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 oz Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil
Salt and pepper
To Make:
Cut tomatoes into halves.
Peel and slice the garlic.
Pick off the basil leaves and set aside.
If using lasagna sheets, cut them into 3 or 4 long strips.
Grate Parmesan cheese.
Boil large pot of salted water for the pasta.
In a large frying pan, heat up some olive oil and the butter. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and stir. Add in a bit of chopped basil. Add the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
Drop your pasta into the boiling water and cook until al dente. 3 minutes if using lasagna sheets or follow the package instructions for linguine. Drain when done and reserve a bit of cooking water.
Add pasta to frying pan and give it a good toss. Add a splash of pasta water and half the Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and the basil leaves.
