4 red roasted peppers (sliced)

1 cup black pitted olives (cut in half)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook until soft but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally for about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and put it into a large fancy bowl, let it cool for 5 minutes, and then start adding your olive oil, garlic, capers, roasted peppers, olives, tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and basil, and mix well. Then lastly throw in your cubed mozzarella squares!
