Roasted Tomato & Burrata Basil Pasta

Ingredients:

12 ounces pasta (penne or spaghetti)

2 cups cherry tomatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

8 ounces burrata cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with

olive oil, add garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chili

flakes. Toss to coat.

Roast for 20–25 minutes until tomatoes are soft and

slightly caramelized.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package

instructions in salted boiling water. Reserve 1/2 cup

pasta water, then drain.

Add cooked pasta to the roasted tomatoes and toss well.

Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen

the sauce.

Transfer pasta to a serving dish. Place burrata cheese on

top and gently break it open.

Garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan. Serve
