Caprese Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
8 oz fusilli pasta
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook the fusilli pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and torn basil leaves.
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. The mozzarella may be slightly salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Finish the salad with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze, adding a delightful tangy sweetness to the dish.
Give the salad a final gentle toss before serving, ensuring all the flavors are well combined.
