Bring large pot of water to a boil, add about 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to water right before you put the pasta in. This helps flavor the pasta. Add 1 lb of Brown Rice Pasta (you can also use other pastas, just make sure they are whole grain to get the most health benefits). Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the water as brown rice pasta tends to stick together.

Cook for 7-10 minutes until al dente, drain, and add to sauce.

While the pasta is cooking, cut up 8 oz of fresh mozzarella cheese into cubes. Once you add the pasta to the sauce, keep heat on low, add the mozzarella cheese to the pasta and gently fold in until melted, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to let it over-melt, it will become too stringy.
