Easy breezy pasta salad

This pasta salad comes from a good friend of mine. Her recipe, my take.

Ingredients needed for 4 servings: 

200 grams fresh parmesan

1 ball of buffel mozzarella

1 dl roasted pine nuts

8-12 ripe cherry tomatoes

5 dl pasta - I used whole wheat fusseli but any other macaroni pasta shape would do too

handful of fresh basil

1 spring onion

good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil 

salt & pepper

1. Put on a pan of water to boil for the pasta. Add a little drizzle of olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking. 
2. Grate the parmesan. 
3. Chop up buffel mozzarella into cubes
4. Cut the tomatoes into fourths or halves and add them to a bowl large enough to fit all the ingredients.
5. Slice the basil and spring onion finely and add to the bowl as well as salt & pepper and a good drizzle of the olive oil. Mix. 
6. Boil the pasta according to the package instructions, I always try mine 1 min before the recommended cooking time as I prefer my pasta al dente and hate mushy pasta. 
7. Sieve the pasta and run cold water over it to cool it slightly. 
8. Add the pasta to the bowl and then the cheeses and the pine nuts. Mix. Taste, add more seasoning if you like & then eat!
