The perfect summer dish

I'm a huge fan of Caprese so when I saw a recipe for Creamy Caprese pasta on Pinterest I was intrigued. Drew and I tried it out and this pasta is now one of my top 3 favorite pastas to date. I'm comparing this to Pioneer Woman pastas people so you know it has to be good. I have already made it several times including for my mom on Mother's Day! If you like tomatoes, basil, cheese and pasta then you will love this!

4 oz. mozzarella cubed
1 pack of Mozzarella rounds
1 pound penne pasta
