Add some tomatoes, a little onion, and balsamic glaze and transform your same old pasta into bruschetta pasta. We’ve always enjoyed traditional bruschetta and thought why not try this on top of pasta. My original idea was to just dump our bruschetta mixture right over the freshly cooked pasta but that turned out dry and kind of flavorless. We tried again and added a little spaghetti sauce to the mixture and that made all the difference.
