Expert Tips

Rigatoni or fusilli can be used in place of the penne.

Try fresh mozzarella in this recipe. Made from whole milk, fresh mozzarella is softer, less elastic and sweeter than regular mozzarella, which is made from skim or part-skim milk.

This was a quick and easy recipe! Did not take long at all to make, and it was very well-seasoned. Definitely will make this again.
