Here is how you make Balsamic Veggies and Pasta:

Cook pasta according to package instructions.Prepare sauce while pasta cooks (whole wheat past a usually takes about 15 minutes to cook). In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic to oil. Saute until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to pan. Add salt and pepper to taste (fresh ground pepper is best if you have it). Reduced heat to medium. Add pine nuts and 1/2 cup water, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add 4 oz of feta to sauce, stir. Stir in basil at the last minute.Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Return pasta to large pot. Add hot sauce to pasta and mix well. If a looser sauce is desired, add reserved pasta water as needed (I usually add the whole cup of pasta water). If want a little more zing, add extra balsamic vinegar. Toss pasta and sauce well before serving.To serve, top each serving with remaining crumbled feta. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PERR0025.
