Ingredients
Scale
200 grams of pasta (fusilli or penne)
150 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
200 grams of mozzarella balls
1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Boil your pasta until it's al dente, then drain and let it cool. You want it warm but not hot when you mix everything.
In a bowl, whisk together your olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste it to get the flavor just right.
In a large bowl, add your cooled pasta along with the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and fresh basil. Pour in the dressing and gently toss everything together.
Cover your pasta salad and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This lets the flavors meld together beautifully before you dig in.
