Italian creamy burrata pasta: Simple and delicious dinner

Italian cuisine can be tasty and simple. Its secret lies in high-quality ingredients, which can turn even a simple sauce into an edible work of art. Pasta with burrata is a perfect example of this, as the ingredients needed to prepare this dish are short.

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from cow's milk or buffalo milk, originating from the Apulia region. At first glance, it resembles mozzarella but differs in structure. On the outside, it looks similar to mozzarella, but inside, it holds a creamy stracciatella, which is pieces of mozzarella immersed in thick cream.

This recipe is a piece of cake - blend sautéed cherry tomatoes with burrata and combine with pasta. The simple sauce with a creamy note is so tasty that it's hard to resist eating it with a spoonful. Preparing a pasta feast in Italian style is simple and quick.

Ingredients:

          
• ¼ cup olive oil
• about 14 oz cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• about ¾ cup pasta water
• 1 burrata

Toppings:

  
• grated Parmesan
• about 3.5 oz pasta per serving

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, saving the water in which it was cooked for later. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté until they soften and release their juices.

Step 2: Add peeled garlic cloves to the sautéed tomatoes and pour the pasta water. Simmer for a while, then transfer to a blender or food processor. Add the torn burrata and blend everything into a smooth sauce.

Step 3: Pour the resulting sauce into the pan and heat it. Add the cooked pasta and stir to coat the spaghetti with the sauce.

Step 4: Transfer the ready pasta to plates and garnish with grated Parmesan and cherry tomatoes. Serve warm. Enjoy!
