A quick and easy roasted cherry tomato pasta topped with creamy burrata, perfect for a comforting and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, fresh and ripe
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz (225g) pasta (spaghetti, linguine, penne, or rigatoni)
  • 8 oz (225g) creamy burrata cheese
  • Optional: freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse 2 cups (300g) of cherry tomatoes and pat dry. Toss them in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure each tomato is lightly coated.
  3. Spread the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the tomatoes blister and start to burst.
  4. While tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz (225g) of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes). Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Transfer the hot pasta to a large skillet or sauté pan on medium heat. Add the roasted tomato mixture with all the juices. Toss gently to coat the pasta, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce and create a silky texture.
  6. Tear a handful of basil leaves and stir them in just before removing the skillet from heat.
  7. Divide the pasta onto plates and top generously with creamy burrata cheese, tearing it apart so it melts into the warm pasta. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

Notes

Roast tomatoes at high heat (425°F) to caramelize sugars without drying them out. Reserve pasta water to loosen sauce and create silkiness. Add fresh basil last to preserve brightness. Handle burrata gently by tearing with hands. Avoid overcrowding the roasting pan for best results.
