It\u2019s fresh, flavorful, and just a little bit different\u2014in the best way. A mix of roasted and raw cherry tomatoes, pasta, marinated mozzarella, creamy avocado, and a sweet peachy balsamic dressing. It comes together fast, with minimal effort, and always hits the spot. Serve it for dinner, pack it for lunch, or bring it to your next summer gathering. Add grilled chicken or steak if you want, but honestly? It\u2019s perfect just as is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nAs we ease into summer mode, I\u2019m feeling that familiar spark of inspiration. New seasons always bring fresh ideas, but there\u2019s something especially energizing about summer. It\u2019s my favorite (along with fall, of course)\u2014I always feel my happiest this time of year, with the sun out, produce peaking, and so many delicious things to cook.<\/p>\nThis season, I\u2019ve been leaning into the idea of elevated basics. Recipes that feel simple and doable, but still have something special<\/em>. That\u2019s exactly what this pasta salad is\u2014familiar and easy, but with my own little twist to make it just a bit more fun.<\/p>\nBecause the truth is, \u201cbasic\u201d doesn\u2019t mean boring. It means you can make it on a busy weeknight or<\/em> bring it to a party. It looks beautiful (we eat with our eyes first, always!), it\u2019s full of flavor, and most importantly\u2014it\u2019s just really, really good.<\/p>\nThis Caprese Pasta Salad checks all the boxes: fresh, colorful, quick, and beyond delicious. A summer staple, for sure!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThese are the details<\/h2>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the salad<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ncherry tomatoes<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\nsalt, black pepper, chili flakes<\/li>\nshort-cut pasta<\/li>\nmozzarella balls<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\navocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

The basic (but Not So Basic) Caprese Pasta Salad<\/strong>. It\u2019s fresh, flavorful, and just a little bit different\u2014in the best way. A mix of roasted and raw cherry tomatoes, pasta, marinated mozzarella, creamy avocado, and a sweet peachy balsamic dressing. It comes together fast, with minimal effort, and always hits the spot. Serve it for dinner, pack it for lunch, or bring it to your next summer gathering. Add grilled chicken or steak if you want, but honestly? It\u2019s perfect just as is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nAs we ease into summer mode, I\u2019m feeling that familiar spark of inspiration. New seasons always bring fresh ideas, but there\u2019s something especially energizing about summer. It\u2019s my favorite (along with fall, of course)\u2014I always feel my happiest this time of year, with the sun out, produce peaking, and so many delicious things to cook.<\/p>\nThis season, I\u2019ve been leaning into the idea of elevated basics. Recipes that feel simple and doable, but still have something special<\/em>. That\u2019s exactly what this pasta salad is\u2014familiar and easy, but with my own little twist to make it just a bit more fun.<\/p>\nBecause the truth is, \u201cbasic\u201d doesn\u2019t mean boring. It means you can make it on a busy weeknight or<\/em> bring it to a party. It looks beautiful (we eat with our eyes first, always!), it\u2019s full of flavor, and most importantly\u2014it\u2019s just really, really good.<\/p>\nThis Caprese Pasta Salad checks all the boxes: fresh, colorful, quick, and beyond delicious. A summer staple, for sure!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThese are the details<\/h2>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the salad<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ncherry tomatoes<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\nsalt, black pepper, chili flakes<\/li>\nshort-cut pasta<\/li>\nmozzarella balls<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\navocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

<\/p>\n
As we ease into summer mode, I\u2019m feeling that familiar spark of inspiration. New seasons always bring fresh ideas, but there\u2019s something especially energizing about summer. It\u2019s my favorite (along with fall, of course)\u2014I always feel my happiest this time of year, with the sun out, produce peaking, and so many delicious things to cook.<\/p>\n
This season, I\u2019ve been leaning into the idea of elevated basics. Recipes that feel simple and doable, but still have something special<\/em>. That\u2019s exactly what this pasta salad is\u2014familiar and easy, but with my own little twist to make it just a bit more fun.<\/p>\nBecause the truth is, \u201cbasic\u201d doesn\u2019t mean boring. It means you can make it on a busy weeknight or<\/em> bring it to a party. It looks beautiful (we eat with our eyes first, always!), it\u2019s full of flavor, and most importantly\u2014it\u2019s just really, really good.<\/p>\nThis Caprese Pasta Salad checks all the boxes: fresh, colorful, quick, and beyond delicious. A summer staple, for sure!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThese are the details<\/h2>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the salad<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ncherry tomatoes<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\nsalt, black pepper, chili flakes<\/li>\nshort-cut pasta<\/li>\nmozzarella balls<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\navocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Because the truth is, \u201cbasic\u201d doesn\u2019t mean boring. It means you can make it on a busy weeknight or<\/em> bring it to a party. It looks beautiful (we eat with our eyes first, always!), it\u2019s full of flavor, and most importantly\u2014it\u2019s just really, really good.<\/p>\nThis Caprese Pasta Salad checks all the boxes: fresh, colorful, quick, and beyond delicious. A summer staple, for sure!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThese are the details<\/h2>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the salad<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ncherry tomatoes<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\nsalt, black pepper, chili flakes<\/li>\nshort-cut pasta<\/li>\nmozzarella balls<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\navocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

This Caprese Pasta Salad checks all the boxes: fresh, colorful, quick, and beyond delicious. A summer staple, for sure!<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the salad<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ncherry tomatoes<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\nsalt, black pepper, chili flakes<\/li>\nshort-cut pasta<\/li>\nmozzarella balls<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\navocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIngredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 for the dressing<\/p>\n\nolive oil<\/li>\npeach balsamic or balsamic vinegar<\/li>\nhoney<\/li>\nshallots<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nfresh basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Tools\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFor this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Bake for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes burst.<\/span>3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Drain. <\/span>4. To make the dressing. Add any juices from the roasted tomatoes to a bowl\/glass jar. To that, add all the dressing ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.<\/span>5.

For this recipe, you\u2019ll need a baking dish<\/a>, a large pot<\/a>, a salad bowl<\/a>, and all the usuals: a cutting board<\/a>, a knife<\/a>, and a spatula<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1: Roast the Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h6>\nStart with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\nThis usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the Dressing<\/strong><\/h6>\nOnce the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\nTo the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 3: Boil the Pasta<\/strong><\/h6>\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\nOnce cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 4: Toss the Salad<\/strong><\/h6>\nAdd the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\nThen mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSome Ideas<\/h2>\nThis is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\nAs I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\nWhat I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\nI hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other great pasta salad recipes?

Bake for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes burst.<\/span>3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Drain. <\/span>4. To make the dressing. Add any juices from the roasted tomatoes to a bowl\/glass jar. To that, add all the dressing ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.<\/span>5. Add the pasta to a salad bowl and toss with half the dressing. Add the roasted tomatoes, remaining fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and avocado.

Start with the tomatoes. I like to roast half of the cherry tomatoes with a thinly sliced shallot, a drizzle of olive oil, a pat of salted butter, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast until the tomatoes burst and become jammy and sweet\u2014their flavor gets super concentrated and delicious.<\/p>\n
This usually takes about 20 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n
Once the tomatoes have roasted and burst, pour all those flavorful pan juices into a glass jar or bowl. These roasted juices are the base of the dressing and add so much depth.<\/p>\n
To the juices, whisk in a bit more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, finely chopped shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It\u2019s sweet, tangy, and just a little garlicky\u2014so good.<\/p>\n
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta. I like using a short-cut pasta with some ridges\u2014it catches all that dressing beautifully.<\/p>\n
Once cooked, drain the pasta and let it steam off for a minute or two.<\/p>\n
Add the hot pasta to a large salad bowl and toss it with half of the dressing to soak in all that flavor.<\/p>\n
Then mix in the roasted tomatoes, the remaining fresh cherry tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls, more shallots, lots of fresh basil, and of course\u2014avocado. Don\u2019t skip the avocado! It makes it extra creamy and summery.<\/p>\n
This is one of those recipes that\u2019s perfect for prepping ahead\u2014whether for summer parties, weekday lunches, or just to have something delicious ready to go in the fridge. The pasta holds up really well and actually gets more flavorful as it sits. Just wait to add the avocado until the day of, so it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t brown.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned above, if you want to bulk it up with some protein, rotisserie chicken or sliced steak are both great options.<\/p>\n
What I love most about this recipe is how it uses the best of what summer has to offer\u2014sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and lots of vibrant flavor. If you\u2019ve got a garden full of tomatoes or just picked up a few too many at the market, this is such a great way to use them.<\/p>\n
I hope you love this pasta salad as much as I do!<\/p>\n
