Ingredients

  • 1 lb small pasta {I used Campanelle}
  • ½-3/4 cup store-bought pesto
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz mini mozzarella balls
  • 1 container arugula {about 5oz}
  • 2-3 tablespoon olive oil as needed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, cook pasta according to package directions.
  • While it cooks, cut your cherry tomatoes and your mini mozzarella balls into fourths.
  • When pasta is ready, pour into a large bowl and toss with the pesto, adding the garlic powder and some of the extra olive oil if it's too thick.
  • Add in the tomatoes, mozzarella, and arugula, and salt/pepper as needed.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until needed!
