Caprese Pasta Salad

A great, easy pasta salad w/ingredients that everyone (at least everyone w/any common sense) likes:

1/3-1/2 cup olive oil (depending on how much coating you like on your noodles)
1/8-1/4 cup balsamic (how much zing do you like?)
a couple spoonfuls of pesto (optional)
1 clove garlic (or more!)
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound pasta (farfalle or orechiette work well)
1/2-1 pound fresh mozz, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1 cup basil leaves, julienned

Combine oil, vinegar, pesto, garlic salt and pepper in a big bowl. Add cooked pasta, mozz, tomatoes and basil and toss. Enjoy!
