1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta, cooked
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed (this is the very soft mozarella cheese, not your standard Kraft-type cheese)
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

Cook Pasta and rinse in cool water.
Toss together pasta, cheeses, basil, and tomato.
Squeeze the juice from a lemon and mix with olive oil. Toss in pasta.
Add salt and pepper as desired.
I actually never measure the ingredients. I just toss until it looks the way I like it. Adjust to your likings. Sometimes it needs to be freshened with a little more olive oil.
