Pasta Salad with Lemon-Pesto Dressing

This is so good! More of a summery recipe, but it would work for anytime.

From the food network (rachael ray)

1 lb. corkscrew pasta (or medium shells)
salt
1 cup prepared pesto sauce from refrigerated section in supermarket
1 lemon (juiced and zested)
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley (you do need the fresh stuff)
1 cup grape tomatos (halved)
4 scallions (chopped)
1 lb. tub of mozzarella cheese (drained and cut up)
black pepper

Cook pasta to al dente then cold shock it and chill it down under cold running water. Drain well.
Place pesto, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, tomatoes, scallions, and cheese in a large bowl.
Add pasta and gently combine ingredients together.
Salt and pepper to taste.

So easy, so delicious!
I made this for my volunteers (old people) and had NO COMPLAINTS, which is a miracle and even some compliments, which is a huge mark of success!
