Ingredients

1 pound orecchiette or conchiglie pasta

8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, drained, small dice

3 ounces baby spinach (about 4 cups), thoroughly washed and dried

1 1/2 cups pitted and halved kalamata olives

1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta according to the package instructions, or until al dente.

Drain, then rinse under cold water until cool.

Transfer pasta to a large bowl and add mozzarella, spinach, olives, and Parmesan. Toss to combine.

In a separate, nonreactive bowl, combine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Whisking constantly, slowly add oil by pouring in a thin stream down the side of the bowl. Whisk until completely incorporated.

Pour vinaigrette over salad, and toss until pasta is coated. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired, and serve.
