This dish is for Italian lovers who appreciate a quick yet tasty meal! All the cooking that is needed in this Isthmus Eats pasta dish is the penne. You will mix in Wisconsin's BelGioioso's bocconcini (small mozzarella balls) marinated with fresh parsley, basil, garlic, Italian seasonings, and oil. Then, you will top it with freshly grated local Parmesan cheese.

Buon Appetito, Madison!
