Caprese Pasta Salad

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 2

Transfer the drained pasta to a large mixing bowl or serving dish. Add tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil.

Step 3

Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano (or Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper on top of the salad and toss to combine. Top with a drizzle of balsamic reduction (optional).
