Fresh whole and chopped basil leaves add pops of green across the noodles.

Ingredients

250 g Tagliatelle or Farfalle (choose your favorite pasta)
300 g cherry tomatoes (fresh is best)
2-3 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
2 cloves garlic (fresh, finely chopped)
1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
Salt and pepper, to taste
200 g burrata (or fresh mozzarella)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
50 g Parmesan (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
Step 2: Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
Step 3: Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 4: Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft.
Step 6: Sprinkle in dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 7: Toss the drained pasta into the pan with the tomato sauce, mixing thoroughly. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Step 8: Place the burrata on top of the pasta and let it melt slightly.
Step 9: Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Step 10: Grate Parmesan over the dish if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for a different flavor twist.
Swap burrata for burrata’s creamy cousin, stracciatella, for an even richer texture.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red chili flakes while sautéing the garlic.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency for a silkier finish.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of pasta water to revive the sauce. Note that burrata is best enjoyed fresh, so consider adding more fresh cheese when serving leftovers.

FAQs

Can I use other types of pasta?

Yes, any short or long pasta like penne, fusilli, or spaghetti works well. Choose what you have or prefer.

What can I substitute for burrata?

If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella is a good alternative, though it’s less creamy. For a dairy-free option, try a creamy cashew cheese or omit the cheese altogether and add extra olive oil for richness.
