Penne with Two Tomatoes and Mozzarella image

We used penne rigate pasta for this dish because its ridges catch the pieces of tomato, garlic, and chive. Rigatoni or medium shells would also work well.

This dish is way too expensive for what it is. You can get a better pasta dish at a restaurant for less money.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some garlic and chili flakes to give it a bit more flavor.
