HEATHER'S CAPRESE PASTA SALAD

1 C fresh mozzarella balls
1 c baby spinach

Dressing:
1/2 c Costco Pesto

12 tsp salt
2-3 Tbsp fresh chopped basil
3 Tbsp sugar

Toss then top with toasted pepitas.  Let sit in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.

Haylee's Note:
I really should change my blog title to "Heather's Food" since most of my recipes are from her.  This is another delicious one she made for a family get together.  I made it the next week, but I would definitely go with a past other than shells, because it looks to similar to the mozzarella balls.
