Ingredients
Scale
2 Cups Uncooked Pasta
1 & 1/2 Cups Sliced Strawberries
Mini Mozzarella (8 oz)
Fresh Basil (Chiffonade) (.75 oz)
Balsamic*1
Instructions
First, cook the pasta according to their instructions. Once al dente, drain the pasta, run it under cold water (to stop the cooking process), & place the drained pasta in a serving bowl.
Next, stir in the sliced strawberries & mini mozzarella.
Let the Strawberry Caprese Pasta Salad chill for 1-2 hours then mix in the fresh basil, top with balsamic, & enjoy!
Notes
*1. If you prefer thickened balsamic (as pictured) simply pour the balsamic in a pan & bring it to a simmer at medium heat, then reduce the heat to low & let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened. I reduce between 1/4 & 1/3 cup, but it depends on how much balsamic reduction you desire.
