Notes
- Note about the cheese: Select one that will melt without "weeping" very much or else the dish will be watery. The fresh mozzarella packed in water is tempting, but it's not the best choice for this dish. Choose one that is a bit drier. For instance, a block-type mozzarella that's meant to be sliced or grated.
