Suggestion

• You can find gluten-free pasta in supermarkets and special stores. Some are made out of hundred percent cornmeal, which I prefer, some are mixed with rice flour. If you want to have good and cheap gluten-free pasta go for Barilla. If you are ready to pay a little more, then there is the Italian brand Asolane or the Suisse brand Avanti. Personally I  wouldn’t recommend pasta from Schär, they taste very strange.
• Instead of normal mozzarella I used mozzarella from the buffalo. It is much creamier. You also can use burrata instead.
• Tomatoes are a special case: some people with fodmap can’t eat them, others have no problem. But I guess you know, what you can eat.
