Description
Juicy tomatoes bursting with flavor, mingling with creamy burrata cheese, all nestled in a silky pasta for a comforting and vibrant dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, washed and halved
- 1 ball burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh basil, roughly chopped
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place halved tomatoes on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the roasted tomatoes to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce.
- Tear the burrata into pieces and gently fold it into the pasta. Let it melt slightly for maximum creaminess.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and fresh basil. Toss lightly and serve immediately.
Notes
Reserve pasta water to create a silky sauce. Use fresh ingredients for maximum flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
