Spicy Pasta
This pasta is very well-rounded and full of important nutrients. This dish contains fiber, vitamin B, cell-protecting lycopene, protein from the mozzarella and unsaturated fatty acids from the olive oil and pine nuts.
The buffalo mozzarella tastes significantly more flavorful than mozzarella made from cow's milk. If you would like a side, pair this pasta with a green salad for added fiber.
