  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

12 oz short pasta (like rotini or penne)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup mini mozzarella balls

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

46 slices prosciutto, crisped in a skillet

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt to taste


Instructions

Cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain.

In a large bowl, combine cooled pasta, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.

In a skillet, crisp the prosciutto until golden, then crumble it over the salad.

Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and salt for the dressing.

Toss salad gently with the dressing.

Chill or serve at room temperature — both ways are delicious!
