For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Fresh mozzarella balls or shavings of Parmesan cheese make excellent additions. Feel free to use other types of pasta, such as penne, rotini, or fusilli. If you don't have Roma tomatoes, any ripe, flavorful tomatoes will work well. The key to this dish is using high-quality olive oil. It makes a noticeable difference in the flavor.
