Ingredients
● 250g fresh tagliatelle (or your favorite pasta, but fresh is best!)
● 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
● 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
● 2 cloves garlic, minced
● ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
● Salt & black pepper, to taste
● Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
● 1 ball of burrata, at room temperature
● Parmesan cheese, for extra indulgence (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
1. Roast the Cherry Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft, caramelized, and slightly blistered.
2. Make the Garlic Oil
While the tomatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions (fresh pasta cooks in just 2-3 minutes!). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
4. Combine Everything
Once the tomatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the garlic oil. Stir gently to coat the tomatoes in the flavorful oil.
Toss in the cooked tagliatelle, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
5. Plate & Top with Burrata
Divide the pasta between plates, twirling it for that restaurant-quality presentation.
Place a generous portion of burrata on top of each serving, allowing its creamy center to slowly melt into the warm pasta.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley, drizzle with extra olive oil, and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
6. Enjoy!
Grab a fork, break into that burrata, and let the cheesy, creamy, tomato-y goodness take over.

FAQs
➤ Can I use dried pasta instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Fresh pasta has a silky texture, but dried tagliatelle, fettuccine, or even spaghetti will work just fine. Just cook it al dente!
➤ What if I don’t have burrata?
No worries—fresh mozzarella or ricotta makes a great substitute. But if you can get your hands on burrata, do it.
➤ Can I add protein?
Yes! Grilled chicken, shrimp, or even crispy pancetta would be amazing in this dish.
➤ How do I store leftovers?
This pasta is best fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just know that the burrata won’t be as creamy when reheated.
➤ Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes! The cherry tomato sauce can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Just reheat it before tossing with the pasta.
Now, go make this pasta, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy a little taste of Italian heaven.
