Notes

Sourcing: Mozzarella “pearls” are widely available at most grocery stores these days. If you have a hard time finding them, you can substitute with a standard mozzarella ball cut up into smaller chunks. Don’t substitute with shredded mozzarella because it won’t have the same effect.
Storage: This pasta salad does not need to be chilled before serving, but chilling it doesn’t hurt. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make ahead: You can make this salad up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just add the fresh basil leaves and strawberries immediately before serving for the best taste.
