• 1 (16 ounce) box fusilli
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 2 -3 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 -2 cup mozzarella cheese, diced
• 1 bunch fresh basil leaf, torn to pieces
• balsamic vinegar
• parmesan cheese

1. Prepare pasta according to box directions and drain, return to pot.
2. Slice, dice, and tear the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil while the pasta is boiling to save time.
3. Add olive oil and garlic salt and mix thoroughly.
4. Recipe states 1 tbs olive oil and 2 tsp garlic salt, but these are merely approximations.
5. Add as much as you deem necessary.
6. Add tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves, toss thoroughly.
7. Dish out the servings, then each person can add balsamic vinegar and parmesan to their liking.
8. Doing it this way keeps the tomatoes and basil from going limp and soggy when you keep leftovers.
