Steps:
- Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions (6 minutes for al dente). Strain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- Whilst the pasta is cooking prepare the pesto. Pulse half of the basil leaves with the garlic and water, then add the remaining basil and parmesan and pulse a few times until combined. Slowly add the oil as you continue to pulse. Season to taste and set aside.
- Toast the pine nuts in a pan, stirring all the time until lightly browned. This will take less than a minute so be careful not to brown the pine nuts too much.
- To assemble the salad stir the pesto through the pasta (ensure the pasta is cold), add the mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and pine nuts and gently fold in. Drizzle over the lemon juice, adjust the seasoning and serve.

PESTO PASTA CAPRESE SALAD
The traditional Caprese salad is modified to pasta form. The mozzarella used is a fresh mozzarella, if you use the brick style, it will not be the same. If you can't find the pearlini mozzarella, use the cieglini and cut it in half. Regular rotini pasta can be used but the cooking time will be different.

- Make the pesto: Have a food processor at the ready. Put the basil into the food processor, and give it a quick whir to begin chopping the basil and make room for the other ingredients.
- Add the garlic, and hit that food processor button again to get the cloves chopped up with the basil.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and then puree to get everything well combined. Open the food processor, scrape the sides to get bits of garlic and basil that haven’t been incorporated, then give the processor a final whir. Set the pesto aside.
