Description
A cozy and comforting pasta dish featuring a rich and creamy sauce, fresh tomatoes, and luxurious burrata cheese.
Ingredients
- Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- Olive oil
- Garlic (minced)
- Cherry tomatoes
- Heavy cream
- Basil (fresh)
- Burrata cheese
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
- Add Tomatoes: Incorporate the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they are softened and burst, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring until well combined with the tomatoes. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss gently. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Finish with Burrata: Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil. Gently place burrata pieces on top, allowing them to melt slightly into the warm pasta.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate your creamy pasta, topping with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan, if desired.
