Ingredients
- 12 oz tagliatelle pasta
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4, minced garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup, chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup, grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 cups cherry tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until tomatoes are blistered and soft.
- Step 2: While tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz tagliatelle pasta and cook for 7-8 minutes until al dente, then drain reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add roasted tomatoes and their juices, gently crushing tomatoes with a spoon.
- Step 4: Stir in chopped 1/4 cup fresh basil and add reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen sauce. Toss in drained pasta and 1/4 cup grated parmesan. Cook together for 2 minutes until sauce coats pasta.
- Step 5: Divide pasta between plates, tear 8 oz burrata cheese over each serving, letting it melt slightly from the heat, then garnish with more basil if desired.
