1/4 package rotini or angel hair pasta
Handful grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered
5 leaves fresh basil, sliced in a chiffonade
5-6 little balls of mozzarella, quartered
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
First, set a pot of salted water to boil on the stove. While you're waiting for the boil, slice and mix your salad, seasoning it well, and dressing lightly with olive oil. Start your pasta as soon as the water boils. Cook according to the directions for "firm." Drain your pasta well, and immediately add the salad to the hot pot with the pasta. Mix well. Serve immediately with a little extra salt and pepper on top and enjoy!
