Pasta Delight

I was eager to try something different this week for dinner. I went to my favorite place for new recipes cookinglight.com and found this. It was delightful and delicious. Even my kids ate every last bite! In addition to what the recipe calls for I added 1/2 t of basil and 1 t of oregano.

Angel Hair Pasta Delight

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 cups hot cooked angel hair (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Asiago cheese
