You see certain recipes and you know its YOU (err..or should it be FOR you?!?... .whatever!) It suits your personality, tastes, style, timing, your energy levels and well throw few more of "bits of you" in there! You realize that someone out there whoever came up with such a recipe would know you too! I really love love fancy schmancy looking recipes which look eye catching, colorful and are vibrant. But to come up with something like that, I sadly lack the time and most importantly inclination all the time! There are times when I simply cook cos I HAVE to and not cos I WANT to. Eating out all the time, can become boring too, you know! Oh well at least it does for me!

In such cases - you use recipes which you know are tailor made for you - Like this Summer Tomato Pasta recipe is ME! So ME that I have been making this ever since I laid my hands on the recipe which is like 3 years ago! I love tomatoes, love pasta, love fresh mozzarella and that sweet tang of balsamic vinegar! Imagine all these flavors coming together and what more, involving hardly any cooking time!  Its more like a salad with a simple dressing and which would take you less than 15 minutes to whip up with hardly any prep work. The only cooking time is for Pasta. The rest is done in a bowl. Doing a step by step pictorial for this recipe is a SIN! But well - since CIY is based on principles lets grit our teeth and stick to it! I took couple of "Not-my-style' photos like "Cleaning tomatoes" (yeah- as if you wouldn't know to do THAT) just so that this post indeed looks like a recipe post ;)  The amount can vary according to your taste - this is No FUSS recipe, so get wild with it :) This recipe is adapted from a cookbook called "Vegetarian"
