- One pound of your choice of pasta, boiled aldente - Large handful of fresh basil, chopped - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Salt to taste - 1/2 cup chopped green Italian olives - Shredded Mozzarella cheese Organic raw goat cheese cheddar (SO much tastier!)
I don't know if mozzarella is vegetarian - an awful lot of cheeses are not - but if you don't mind that, then I would try Parmegiamo Reggiano, instead. What it lacks in the gooey factor, it more than makes up for in the taste factor. That's why I prefer it (of course, you could be totally decadent and use both!)
But if you do want to keep it vegetarian, then there are soy-based cheeses which will work. The only problem is, I don't find them all that flavorful.
The problem is that I'm on a new diet (gluten free and no soy + no aged cheeses). So I'm very limited right now. I made this recipe with a gluten free pasta.

C'est la vie!

Oh wow I had no idea.

Sigh.
