The flavors were good in this recipe, but the mozzarella did not incorporate in the sauce. It just blobbed up. In the end, I simply tried to give each plate its fair share of cheese blobs. Was it because I put too much in too fast? Or because I used pre-shredded low moisture part skim? I want to try this again to get that part right.

The low moisture cheese is the problem. Try using either a full fat or 2% milk cheese. It melts much better.
