Pasta perfection: A taste of Italy with burrata and cherry tomatoes

Italian cuisine is considered one of the best in the world for a reason: charming millions of people. You can bring the taste of sunny Italy to your home by preparing delicious pasta in a creamy sauce with burrata and cherry tomatoes.

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 list of ingredients needed to prepare this dish is really 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. It resembles the aforementioned cheese on the outside, but inside, it hides a creamy stracciatella, which is pieces of mozzarella immersed in thick cream.

This recipe is a piece of cake - simply 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 by the spoonful. Preparing a pasta feast in Italian style is simple and quick.

Ingredients:

• 60 ml olive oil
• about 400 grams cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• about 175 ml pasta water
• 1 burrata

Toppings:

• grated Parmesan
• about 100 grams 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 in 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 back 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!
