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.

C'est la vie!

Cheers.

Oh wow I had no idea.

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.

Sigh.
