How to Make Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad
- Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Chop 1 (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts, reserving ¼ cup of the marinade.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped artichoke hearts, 1 (12 ounce) jar of roasted red peppers (drained), 8 ounces of smoked mozzarella cheese (sliced or cubed), 5 ounces of fresh spinach (roughly chopped), and 4 ounces of canned green chilies (drained and chopped). Gently toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved ¼ cup artichoke marinade, ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup pine nuts, 2 cloves minced garlic, and a generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
