Pasta Salad to-go


We recently had a potluck event with friends and I tried my hand at pasta salad to-go. Easy and adorable.

Pesto Pasta Salad

Ingredients:
Jarred pesto - you can make your own but try a good brand for an easy add
Cherry tomatoes, sliced
Tiny mozzarella balls
Arugula
Farfalle pasta

Directions: 
1. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. Place pasta in a large bowl and scoop out as much pesto as you like. I used 3 Tbsp so it wasn't too much for anyone that maybe didn't care for pesto as much as I do. Stir in well.
3. Add mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. Give a good stir to combine.
4. Scoop a ladle full or two into cups and top with fresh arugula.
5. You can chill this pasta overnight or eat right away. Before eating, give the cup a good shake.
Buon Appetito!
