If you watch Food Network, you are familiar with Giada DeLaurentis's show "Everyday Italian". I've watched a lot of Food Network shows and tried a lot of the recipes. Giada's recipes I find actually taste good when made at home and involve relatively simple ingredients. I also like Ina Garten's recipes from Barefoot Contessa, although her ingredients tend to be really expensive.
About a year ago Andy & I watched Giada make really simple Baked Caprese Salad. We made it and really enjoyed it. See the link below for Giada's original recipe. We usually enhance it by carefully reducing about a 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar while everything else is cooking and brushing that on top at the end. The balsamic vinegar becomes syrupy and sweet, be careful not to burn it. We've also added olive tapenade from Trader Joe's underneath the tomato.
We just had this meal again on Thursday night because the tomatoes in the store are finally decent and basil is also coming into season.
