Café Vista's Spaghetti alla Checca

The beauty of this pasta salad is how simple it is to prepare. Once you have your ingredients, it is all about cooking the spaghetti, and then it is ready to enjoy.

This dish is a perfect blend of fresh Flavors and is best served as soon as it is tossed to ensure the mozzarella’s creamy texture enhances the whole experience.
