Ingredients

Scale

For the Pasta:

  • 12 ounces pasta (such as spaghetti, penne, or fusilli)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if using. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are blistered and caramelized. Add the minced garlic during the last 5 minutes to gently roast and infuse flavor.
  2. Cook the Pasta: While the tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve half a cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta completely.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the cooked pasta to a large bowl and add the roasted tomatoes along with any juices from the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and toss well to combine. Add reserved pasta water gradually if the pasta seems dry to reach the desired saucy consistency. Tear the burrata cheese into chunks and gently fold it into the warm pasta so it softens and slightly melts.
  4. Serve: Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant touch. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired for an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy your satisfying and flavorful Roasted Tomato Burrata Pasta!

Notes

  • Use any pasta shape you like, such as penne, fusilli, or spaghetti.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, replace burrata with vegan cheese or omit it altogether.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency perfectly.
  • Adding garlic near the end of roasting prevents it from burning and keeps its flavor fresh.
  • If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute but with less creaminess.
  • This dish pairs well with a light green salad or crusty bread.
