Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe

Time: 30 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Cook the pasta: Follow the instructions on the pasta package to cook it to al dente. Drain the cooked pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Assemble the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, black olives, and red onion (if using). Pour the pesto sauce over the pasta and toss everything together until the ingredients are well coated with the sauce. You can adjust the amount of pesto to your liking; you might not need to use all of it.
Season and garnish: Taste the pasta salad and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Chill and serve: Cover the pasta salad and refrigerate it for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, you can drizzle a bit of extra olive oil and add more grated Parmesan if desired. Serve cold.
Feel free to customize your pesto pasta salad by adding other ingredients like grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or fresh herbs. It's a versatile dish that can be tailored to your taste preferences. Enjoy!
