Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Cut the top off each tomato, carve out the inside leaving only the outer part, creating a vessel for pasta, set aside.
  • In a skillet, sauté anchovy (optional), capers and olives with half the olive oil for about one minute, add sauce and bring to a boil.
  • Cook pasta 1 minute less than package directions and drain. Toss with marinara sauce mixture and basil, let cool down.
  • Stir in mozzarella and fill tomatoes with pasta mixture. Mix Panko with remaining olive oil then top each tomato.
  • Bake stuffed tomatoes until Panko is golden crispy and mozzarella is melted, about 10 minutes.
