✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 12 oz Penne
• 8 oz Mozzarella
• 3 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 Lemon
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1/2 cup Basil
• 1/2 tsp Chili flakes

Steps

1. Blister the tomatoes in the olive oil over high heat, 5 minutes, until they burst and char in spots.
2. Stir in the sliced garlic and chili for 1 minute.
3. Toss with al dente penne, the lemon zest and juice, and a splash of pasta water.
4. Tear the mozzarella over the hot pasta so it melts into creamy pockets.
5. Finish with basil and serve immediately — this one does not wait.
