1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.
While the pasta is cooling, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and pine nuts.
Add the homemade basil pesto to the bowl and toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated.
Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Mix well.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the salad and gently toss again.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a colder salad.
