Heirloom Tomato Basil Balsamic Zucchini Pasta

The fresh taste of heirloom tomatoes and basil is mixed with the tangy sweetness of balsamic vinegar to make this colorful vegan pasta dish. It's a great meal for summer because the zucchini noodles are a light and healthy alternative to regular pasta.

Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and saut for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened

Add diced heirloom tomatoes, chopped basil, and balsamic vinegar to the skillet

Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss everything together gently

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are heated through but still firm

Serve immediately and enjoy!
