This sounded delicious. I'm making it for dinner, with
grilled salmon and a green salad. Recipe came from a tub
of fresh mozzarellas.

Mozzarella-Pasta Salad

1 pkg. (16 oz.) rotellini, campanelle, or farflle pasta 1
cup good olive oil 2 bunches of basil, stems removed,
finely julienned 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 Tbsp.
parsley, finely chopped 2 fist-sized mozzarella balls,
cubed 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 c. chopped black or Kalamata olives or olive tapanade
salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta following pkg. directions until al dente. Drain
and mix with remaining ingredients. Serve at room
temperature.

Note: I think this would be good with strips of bottled
roasted red pepper and canned or cooked cannelini or
black beans added. The addition of diced ham or
cooked chicken wouldn't hurt, either.

That's it? That's so simple and sounds delicious! I'd
probably add salami.............

It WAS delicious. I also added a few finely chopped green
onions. Salami would be great, or thinly sliced pepperoni. I
used a fairly mild, fruity olive oil (1/2 cup instead of a
full cup) and it was perfect.
