I found this recipe on the home page of www.weightwatchers.com this morning and I can't wait to try it! Vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and smoky mozzarella go together beautifully. Add pasta and a splash of balsamic vinegar and you've got a wonderful meal.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces fusilli, uncooked or other spiral shaped pasta
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or more)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup basil, fresh, chopped
1/2 cup part-skim smoked mozzarella cheese
1/8 teaspoon table salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Directions

1
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add vinegar, oil and oregano; toss to coat.
2
Fold in tomatoes, basil and mozzarella; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes: For added flavor, add sun-dried tomatoes to this recipe. Place 1/4 cup of dried sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with boiling water; set aside for 10 minutes to allow the tomatoes to plump up. Drain well and substitute them for half the cherry tomatoes in the recipe.
