Description
8 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or rigatoni)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp balsamic glaze (optional)
1 large ball of burrata cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Directions:
Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and
burst.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat the pasta in the tomato sauce.
Stir in the fresh basil and remove from heat.
Transfer the pasta to serving bowls and tear the burrata over the top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
