Ingredients

  • 350 g fusilli

  • 1 bunch basil

Instructions

  1. Cook the fusilli in plenty of salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse briefly with cold water so they stop cooking but stay lukewarm.
  2. Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them in a large bowl with a pinch of salt so they release some juice. Drain the mozzarella balls and cut them in half.
