Fusilli Mozzarella

Fusilli pasta served with chopped vined tomatoes, garlic, anchovies, capers and basil along with several chunks of melted mozzarella for a great cheesy dish.

If you love a traditional italian Margherita pizza you will go crazy over this pasta dish! It's got so much in common because the chunks of mozzarella melt when serving the pasta. This dish is great to make when you want to have the sauce ready and out of the way and then you can boil the pasta whenever you are ready to eat.
