Pasta with Burrata and Roasted Tomatoes
Instructions
-
Roast the Tomatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Spread evenly and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
-
Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
-
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- In a large skillet or pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted tomatoes (along with their juices) and stir.
- Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing to coat it in the roasted tomato mixture. If needed, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Divide the pasta among serving plates or a large platter. Top each portion with a burrata ball (or divide one large burrata into smaller portions).
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
