Shells with Balsamic Tomatoes & Mozzarella Recipe

Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Add the cooked pasta shells to the skillet and toss until well coated with the tomato mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the diced mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the shells with balsamic tomatoes and mozzarella hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
