The Ultimate Pasta Salad

1. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, according to packet instructions. Drain and refresh under cold water until completely cool. Drain again thoroughly.
2. To make the dressing, whisk the olive oil together with the pesto, lemon and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Chuck the cooked pasta into a large mixing bowl and add the mozzarella, peppers, artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes and basil. Pour over the dressing, toss together and serve.
