Here's whats for lunch

Pasta with Fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes is a delicious and healthy lunch. Pasta can be very heavy and very filling but this dish is very light and can be enjoyed warm or cold. I use penne pasta and mix it with chunks of fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. I toss the whole dish with a little bit of garlic infused extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. It is my quick and easy version of warm pasta salad. Try this recipe out and enjoy!
