Packed with flavors and textures, Caprese Pasta Salad is a perfect salad to make at any time, both scorching days of summer and freezing days of winter. Cooked fusilli, halved ciligini, halved grape tomatoes and thinly sliced basil come together then generously drizzled with flavorful homemade balsamic glaze.
