One of those very simple recipes that always hits the weekly rotation. So good it doesn’t even require a protein.
Caprese Pasta Salad:
-12 oz box bow ties, cooked and drained
-About 10-15 leaves fresh basil, rinsed and chopped
-1 or 2 containers grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
-2 big cloves fresh garlic, minced
-At least 4 oz fresh mozzarella pearls
-1/4 cup EVOO
-Splash or 2 of aged balsamic vinegar
-S&P to taste
Combine tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, garlic, EVOO in large bowl. S&P to taste along with a couple of splashes of balsamic. Stir to incorporate, cover loosely and allow flavors to marry on countertop for at least 45 minutes before adding pasta.

I love the standard Caprese salad with just the mozz, tomatoes, and basil, so I’m guessing this is fantastic. Thanks for sharing this idea, Craig!"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
