While the pasta is cooking: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a wide skillet. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the pasta to the hot skillet and toss until evenly coated.

Add the tomatoes and remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and toss for one more minute.

Add a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water, just enough so it doesn’t feel dry.

Toss in the basil, mozzarella and balsamic vinegar (if using) and season to taste.

Serve immediately with parmesan.
