Cook the pasta al dente according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Note: "al dente", literally translated as 'to the tooth', is an Italian term used to describe the ideal consistency of pasta when cooked. The pasta should be firm without being hard or chalky.

In a bowl, add the olives, shallot, tomatoes, peppers, mozzarella balls, and dressing. Mix to combine. Add the spinach and the basil and toss to combine.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!
