Grilled Chicken and Burrata Pasta
Ingredients
12 oz spaghetti
2 chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted)
1 ball fresh burrata cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions
Cook the pasta: Boil the spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
Roast the tomatoes: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until blistered. Stir in minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and sauté for another minute.
Prepare the chicken: While the tomatoes cook, grill the chicken breasts over medium-high heat until fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F/74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the roasted tomatoes. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Assemble the dish: Plate the pasta and top with grilled chicken slices, burrata cheese, toasted pine nuts, and fresh parsley.
Serve: Drizzle with olive oil and serve warm for a restaurant-worthy meal!
