Pesto Pasta Salad

This family-friendly pasta salad comes together in a snap and is great for a summer party, whether poolside or on a picnic blanket under the redwoods or at the beach. Look for the small balls of fresh mozzarella labeled ciliegine—“cherries”—or cut a large ball into small cubes. We love to use pasta from our friends at Bayview Pasta for this delicious dish.
