Buttered Balsamic Blistered Tomato Pasta recipe perfect for quick summer vegetarian dinners from www.seasonedsprinkles.com

I’ve been on a real tomato kick recently. I put them in everything. I’ve been eating caprese salad on the reg. And all the tomato pasta. Bruschetta pasta obviously because it’s a summer classic. And now this buttery balsamic blistered tomato pasta. I CAN’T STOP. I’ve eaten for dinner 4 times in the past week.

Maybe it’s a pregnancy craving. Or maybe it’s because summertime tomatoes are the best. I just can’t get enough. Like if I don’t eat tomatoes every day from now until September there may be serious consequences. I’m not willing to take my chances.

I especially love cherry and grape tomatoes. Maybe because they are miniature and cute. Maybe because it’s a serious texture thing for me. But I either way, give me all your cherry tomatoes and no one gets hurt.

This pasta is to die for. It doesn’t have a lot of ingredients but each ingredient is crucial. They all have a role in making this so perfect.

It’s creamy and rich from the butter, olive oil, and parmesan but not in an over the top alfredo kind of way. More just like a nice velvety mouth feel. Not like a hearty winter pasta but a little something to give it body.

And the balsamic and the tomatoes? YES. So sweet and perfect. Like the epitome of summer on a plate.

Simmering the tomatoes in the balsamic and butter makes this so perfect

The lemon? Freshness. Brightness. Almost like a little bit of summer sparkle added in to top off the gorgeous summer cherry tomatoes.

And the garlic? Well obviously flavor. It’s only two cloves so it’s not a ton of garlic. Pregnant me wouldn’t be able to handle too much garlic.

The basil is the veritable icing on the cake. Goodness and freshness. Added summer flavor sprinkles.

And the best part? This meal comes together in under 15 minutes and you need one pan and one pot. I just received this gorgeous set of Bialetti ceramic cookware and this was the perfect recipe to try it out. I boiled the pasta in the 6 quart dutch oven and used the covered deep saute pan to saute my tomatoes and bring the sauce together in.

The set is beautiful to look at and so far seems to heat evenly and clean easily. I also love that you can transfer this cookware to an oven at temperatures up to 400 degrees.
