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.

- 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.
