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
  1. 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.
  2. Drain, then rinse under cold water until cool.
  3. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and add mozzarella, spinach, olives, and Parmesan. Toss to combine.
  4. In a separate, nonreactive bowl, combine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Whisking constantly, slowly add oil by pouring in a thin stream down the side of the bowl. Whisk until completely incorporated.
  6. Pour vinaigrette over salad, and toss until pasta is coated. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired, and serve.
