pasta with creamy Burrata recipe

Here’s a simple yet indulgent recipe for pasta with creamy burrata:

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or your favorite type)
• 1 ball of fresh burrata cheese
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the skillet with the tomatoes along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
5. Tear the burrata cheese into small pieces and scatter them over the pasta. Gently toss the pasta again to distribute the creamy burrata throughout.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with torn basil leaves.
7. Serve the pasta immediately, while the burrata is still creamy and gooey.

Enjoy your creamy burrata pasta!
