The Easiest Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes You’ll Ever Make

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and provides a cheesy flavor.

Remove the skin from the fresh cherry tomatoes by placing them in hot water for about 1 minute, then taking them out.

Add salt to a large pot of water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add bucatini to the pot and cook for about 11-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the pasta cooks, heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and split fresh hot pepper to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.

Add the fresh cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the tomato mixture with salt and red pepper flakes to taste.

Reserve some pasta cooking water before draining the bucatini.

Add the drained bucatini to the skillet with the tomato mixture.

Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce.

Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves.

Serve immediately, topped with burrata cheese and additional red pepper flakes.
