Fresh tomato pasta

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add some salt and the pasta, and cook according to packet instructions (usually 11-14 minutes).

When the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of the cooking water and drain, returning to the pan.

Put the pan back on a low heat and add the butter, balsamic vinegar, basil and tomatoes. You may want to add 1-2 tbsp. of the pasta water to encourage the butter to melt. Check for seasoning.

After a minute or so, add the basil, tear in the mozzarella and serve, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh black pepper.
