I've had an idea: pasta fruit salad.

[Morbius]

9. I made this.

1 lb strawberries
1 lb clementines
1 lb red grapes
12 tricolor rotini
2 strawberry Yoplait yogurt
2 strawberry/banana Yoplait yogurt
1/4 cup heavy cream

I decided to go with all fresh fruit, and I'm glad I did. I mixed the yogurt and cream in a separate bowl and then poured it over the salad. I don't have ready access to fresh herbs; I could buy them but I am reluctant to spend the money if I'm only going to use it on one dish. It was okay but it needed something. Boring, kinda. Points to the person above who recommended skipping the pasta entirely; my wife opined the dish would be better without pasta. Points also to the strong recommendation of using yogurt; it was absolutely the right call. I have a lot of this salad left, however.

I've decided to apply a rule I've determined over my half century of cooking: almost anything can be improved, or at least made more interesting, by adding one of three things: garlic, chocolate, or cheese (I call it the GCC rule). Chocolate chips would probably be great but I don't have them on hand and my daughter doesn't like chocolate chips anyway (I know, I'm a failure as a parent). I've decided to add some cheese. On hand, I have pepper jack, Monterey jack and sharp white cheddar. My wife doesn't care for spicy things, which rules out pepper jack. I'm trying to decide between the jack and the cheddar. Which one will pair with the sweet fruits. Flavor-wise, cream cheese would taste great but it's not firm enough. And I don't have it on hand anyway.

Thoughts?
