Ingredients

Scale

For the Pasta:

  • 12 ounces pasta (such as spaghetti, penne, or fusilli)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until blistered and caramelized, adding minced garlic during the last 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix cooked pasta with roasted tomatoes and their juices. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss. Add reserved pasta water gradually if needed for desired consistency. Tear burrata cheese into pieces and gently fold into the pasta, allowing it to melt slightly.
  4. Serve: Plate the pasta warm and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious dish!

Notes

  • Use whichever pasta shape you prefer, such as spaghetti, penne, or fusilli.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and Italian seasoning to suit your taste.
  • Reserve pasta water to help loosen the sauce and improve the texture.
  • Burrata can be replaced with fresh mozzarella if unavailable, but burrata gives a creamier texture.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the burrata at its best melted texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
