Bruschetta Pasta Salad

I don’t always love pasta salads, but this one definitely makes the cut. Loaded with fresh tomatoes, basil, parmesan cheese and noodles this salad is a must make side dish!

And like all things I make, it’s stupid easy – and like most things I make, you can make it ahead of time. Y’all let me know what you think!
