Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water, drain pasta, and cool under cold running water.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pesto sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream, shallot, reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooled pasta with the dressing until well coated. Fold in cherry tomatoes, crispy bacon, arugula, parmesan cheese, and ciliegini mozzarella.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
