Short on time and money?
This is a great last minute dinner idea that you can tailor to whatever is available. In the amount of time it takes to boil water, you can have a unique pasta dish using vegetables and even some chicken or sausage. This sauce also works well in cold pasta salads.
This recipe makes enough sauce for 1lb of pasta
Simple Balsamic Pasta Sauce
Sweet, Tart and Tangy sauce that comes together quickly on a weeknight. There are unlimited combinations of flavors that can be made depending on the type of pasta and vegetables that you have in the cupboard.
TIP: Always mix the sauce with the pasta off of the heat so that the pasta doesn't absorb the sauce too quickly.

If you don't like too much acid in your sauce, you can cut the lemon juice to 2 Tablespoons and omit the lemon zest.
