Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces bowtie pasta, cooked according to package directions
1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (use multi-colored tomatoes if you can find them)
8 ounce fresh mozzarella cheese balls (ciliegine), drained
8 ounces prepared or homemade pesto, or to taste
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
fresh basil leaves, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and add to a large bowl. Note - If you don't want the mozzarella in step two to melt at all and want it to remain intact in balls, wait about 10 minutes for the pasta to cool a bit before proceeding.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto, and stir to combine and coat evenly.
  • Add the Parmesan, pepper, and stir to combine and coat evenly. Taste and if desired, add salt but I did not find it necessary.
  • Optionally garnish with basil and serve immediately if desired or chill before serving.

TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND PESTO PASTA SALAD



Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Pasta Salad image

I came up with this one day when trying to use up ingredients I already had. The pine nuts give the salad a great, nutty flavour and add a bit of crunch to the texture. Serves 4 as a side dish. Update: I have added some olive oil to the pasta salad to moisten it up a bit, based on a review.
