Ingredients
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese
- 360 grams pasta - I've used paccheri pasta shape
- 800 grams canned peeled tomatoes (you can also use fresh ripe tomatoes or cherry tomatoes)
- 40 grams freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 2 large garlic cloves
- ½ handful fresh basil leaves (approximately 8 big leaves)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Garnish with extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil leaves, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Carefully place the burrata on a plate or bowl and leave on the side for now to allow it to come to room temperature while you are cooking
- Now to make the homemade tomato sauce, in a large saucepan or pot add the olive oil and peeled garlic cloves and saute for a few minutes on medium heat until golden
- Add the canned tomatoes and slightly break them up with a wooden spoon. Add a cup of water to the can to capture any leftover sauce
- Season well with salt and pepper, tear up the basil leaves and simmer with the lid on for 20 minutes on a low-medium heat
- Allow the sauce to cool down slightly, then blend until smooth in a blender or you can also use an immersion blender. Then pour it back into the same saucepan. (Here are more details on the sauce recipe if needed)
- In the meantime, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Ensure to cook until al dente and not over cook the pasta (usually 2 minutes under the package instructions)
- Drain the pasta and keep some of the pasta water. Add the pasta straight to the saucepan with the sauce, add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese with a good splash of the pasta waterStir through so everything is combined and the sauce is silky and creamy (add more pasta water if needed)
- When the pasta is silky and creamy, take the saucepan off the heat. Add the burrata cheese to the middle of the pasta and carefully cut it openSeason it with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes, and enjoy your luscious Burrata Pasta!!
