A note before you begin: Be sure to reserve one cup of pasta water when draining your pasta! Youโll need it for your sauce.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon to gently pop the tomatoes to allow the juices to pour out and create a sauce.
- Stir in the oregano and sugar. Add salt to taste.
- Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Meanwhile, salt a pot of boiling water and cook the pasta until al dente.
- Reserve one cup of pasta water, and drain the rest.
- Pour the reserved pasta water into the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
- Return the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, then toss to coat the noodles.
- Tear the burrata into pieces and nestle it into the pasta.
- Remove from heat, garnish with basil leaves, then serve.
