This burst tomato and burrata pasta combines the sweetness of pan-seared tomatoes with the creamy richness of burrata cheese. All you need is 30 minutes and a handful of pantry staples to make this delicious meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Sugar to taste, if needed
  • 8oz linguine
  • 8oz burrata cheese
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

A note before you begin: Be sure to reserve one cup of pasta water when draining your pasta! Youโ€™ll need it for your sauce.

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Use the back of a wooden spoon to gently pop the tomatoes to allow the juices to pour out and create a sauce.
  4. Stir in the oregano and sugar. Add salt to taste.
  5. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  6. Meanwhile, salt a pot of boiling water and cook the pasta until al dente.
  7. Reserve one cup of pasta water, and drain the rest.
  8. Pour the reserved pasta water into the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
  9. Return the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  10. Add the pasta to the sauce, then toss to coat the noodles.
  11. Tear the burrata into pieces and nestle it into the pasta.

  12. Remove from heat, garnish with basil leaves, then serve.
