Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper in a 9x13 (3 quart) baking dish and toss to combine. Bake for 20 minutes, stir, and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the tomatoes are nice and soft and melt when pressed gently with a spoon.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Drain well. If the pasta is finished before the tomato sauce is ready, drizzle in a little olive oil and stir so the pasta doesn't stick. Place in a large bowl.
- Once the tomatoes are finished, mix them into the drained pasta and allow to cool to just above room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Once cool, mix in the drained mozzarella and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- *You can substitute bocconcini, halved, or a big piece of mozzarella, diced, if you can't find perlini.
