Preparation

Let's boil the cavatelli in salted water. I toast the breadcrumbs in a non-stick pan. I take the blender and blend the anchovies, the juice of one lemon, the basil, and the oil. I cut the mozzarella into cubes in a bowl. When the breadcrumbs are toasted, I grate a bit of lemon zest into it. I drain the pasta and pour it over the cubed mozzarella. I pour the anchovy cream on top. I add a bit of oil, some chopped basil leaves, and the toasted bread!
