Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute. Remember that 1 clove is about 1 or 2 tsp. Be careful not to burn it!
- 2
Pour garlic and oil into a large bowl. This should be the bowl where everything eventually goes into.
- 3
Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cook your penne. While this cooks, this is a good time to cut your tomatoes and mozzarella into diced pieces. If you can find the mozzarella that is already in "pearl" form, that makes things easier.
- 4
Put your diced tomatoes, salt, and basil in the large bowl.
- 5
Put diced mozzarella in a smaller, separate bowl. Pour in a little bit of olive oil - just enough to coat them. Believe me, this is important, unless you want all of the mozzarella to stick in one big clump..
- 6
Once pasta is cooked, strain and pour it into the large bowl. Immediately, you'll want to add in the mozzarella and stir it all up while the noodles are hot.
- 7
Stir thoroughly. Add parmesan and red pepper flakes to taste.
- 8
Optional: If you can get your hands on fig balsamic glaze, this is a very nice addition to add some sweetness to it.
- 9
Can be served hot or cold. I like it hot, my dad likes it cold, so it's really just a matter of opinion. Enjoy!

Also, you could add some baby spinach leaves, if you want some greens!

You can substitute lamb rump with another cut of lamb, (like lamb chop, but you need to take out bone).You can also use another meat like chicken or beef.I like to flavour the meat with my favorite spice rub, like a Cajun or mosquite.Also this recipe allow you to use any shape pasta.

Bacon and Spinach Penne Pasta Bacon and Spinach Penne Pasta
I gave a little twist to my simple spaghetti dish by using penne.Penne takes a bit longer to cook (13-14 minutes) than regular spaghetti (7 minutes), so it may be best to start sautéing the ingredients after the penne is added to the boiling water.Season well with salt and pepper.
