YUM!
I'm always looking for a yummy, super fast, new recipe. I found it! Darryl and I have been hooked on this for a while now. We both really love balsamic vinegar so maybe that is why.
Side note: I use 1 & 1/3 c. olive oil, 2/3 c. balsamic vinegar, 1/2 - 2/3 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1/2 - 1 Tbl. dried Italian seasoning plus a dash of dried basil, and then everything else the correct amounts.
ENJOY!

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes

I LOVE vinegar!! I am so trying this next week! Thanks for solving the dinner dilema!
I too LOVE vinegar. This doesn't have a strong vinegar taste to me. If you haven't had balsamic vinegar before, like me, it is more sweet and just different. Let me know what you think. I could see some people not appreciating the taste.
Jenn, well last night I made this kind of. I have a habbit of leaving key ingredients out. I forgot the parmensan cheese. But tonight when I had the left over I remembered and it was great. I am glad I did what you recommended with the less oil and less vin. I think I could have even cut back more on the oil and maybe more vin. I also used different pasta. Tonight the little pasta rolls kind of reminded me of Escargot. Brian loved the Chicken!!! oh and my kids finished theirs as well!
Thanks
