This summery pasta salad is full of fresh flavors thanks to the homemade pesto sauce made with simple, clean ingredients (and nut-free!). Can easily be made vegan by substituting the mozzarella pearls with vegan shreds.

Cook pasta according to package, drain, and set aside.
In a blender, combine all ingredients for the pesto sauce and blend together. Taste and add more oil, salt, or pepper if desired.
Slice tomatoes in half.
In a large bowl, combine pasta, pesto sauce, sliced tomatoes, and mozzarella pearls. Top off with extra basil if desired. Enjoy!
