A simple yet indulgent pasta dish featuring roasted cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata, and fresh basil. Perfect for an easy homemade dinner that feels special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint (450g) cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces (225g) pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or penne)
  • 8 ounces (225g) burrata cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
  2. Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes. Toss them gently with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the tomatoes evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until blistered, softened, and slightly caramelized.
  4. While tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente (8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. In a large mixing bowl or the pasta pot, combine the roasted tomatoes with their juices and the cooked pasta. Toss gently.
  6. Tear the burrata into chunks and fold it into the warm pasta. Add reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time to loosen the sauce to desired creaminess.
  7. Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter over the pasta. Toss lightly to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add more reserved pasta water to loosen it. Watch tomatoes carefully during roasting to avoid burning. Burrata melts best when folded into warm pasta off the heat. Use gluten-free pasta for gluten-free diet or vegan cheese substitutes for a vegan version.
