Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Tear sourdough bread into bite-sized pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, toss in bread and salt, then stir for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, lower heat and add more olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, sautéed garlic, white wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the pasta has cooled and tomatoes have marinated, add pasta to the bowl with tomatoes. Gently mix in mozzarella, fresh basil, half the croutons, and half the grated Parmigiano.
- Transfer to a serving dish, top with remaining croutons and Parmigiano, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed fresh. Keep croutons separate until serving to maintain crunch. Marinate tomatoes at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
