Steps:
- Begin by boiling your pasta according to package directions (use salted water). Set aside cooked pasta and allow to cool for several minutes. (To keep pasta from sticking, drizzle with a bit of olive oil.)
- While pasta cooks and cools, chop tomatoes and basil, and cube mozzarella.
- Combine tomatoes, cheese, and basil with pasta and mix well.
- Make dressing by whisking together olive oil, garlic, and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to dressing to taste. Add to pasta salad, and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. I like to give it a little time in the fridge for the dressing to soak into the pasta, but if you're in a time crunch, no worries!

CAPRESE PASTA SALAD
This easy Caprese pasta salad is always a favorite, especially when summer tomatoes are at their peak. It comes together quickly, but if you can make it ahead of time, the flavors seem to get better after it's chilled for a few hours. -Debby Harden, Lansing, Michigan

- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, combine the olive oil, tomatoes and salt in a large, non-reactive skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cover the skillet (use a baking sheet if you don’t have a better lid). Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the tomatoes have started to burst out of their skins and the olive oil has a light red hue (about 6 to 12 minutes).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked pasta. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes while you chop the basil. We don’t want the cheese to melt on contact, so wait to proceed to the next step until your pasta is lightly warm (not hot).
- Stir the mozzarella balls and basil into the pasta. Add the vinegar, then taste and add additional vinegar and/or salt, if it doesn’t quite taste spectacular yet. For best flavor, let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes, so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce. Or, refrigerate it for future use.
