Method
step 1
Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the chilli, shallots, oil, lemon zest, vinegar, sugar and tomatoes into a big mortar. If yours isn’t big enough, put it all in a bowl and just use the pestle in that. Add a good amount of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and bash everything together.
step 2
Drain the pasta and toss together with the tomato mixture and mozzarella. Scatter over the basil and serve immediately.
