Notes
Did You Know?Pepperoncini peppers, also called Tuscan peppers, are a variety of chili pepper with a slightly sweet and spicy-hot flavor. They are most often sold and pickled and are used in many antipasto dishes.Success TipCutting cubes of Mozzarella cheese is a breeze if you start with a well-chilled block of cheese. Put the cheese in the freezer while the pasta cooks and you prep the other ingredients.Adapted from Betty Crocker: A Passion for Pasta (page 189) - modifications are my own.
