This Burrata Pasta Will Be Your New Go-To Italian Dinner

burrata cheese

🥗Healthier: fresh mozzarella

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Fresh mozzarella provides a similar creamy texture at a lower cost.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative that adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a good amount of olive oil in a pan.

Add a bit of dried chili for warmth if you like a spicy kick.

Add thinly sliced garlic and cook on medium heat for a couple of minutes.

Add chopped cherry tomatoes to the pan and let them soften and burst, turning into a rustic sauce for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Cook the tubular pasta in well salted boiling water according to the package instructions.

Once the pasta is ready, transfer it straight into the pan with the sauce and mix to combine.

Tear the burrata by hand and let it melt gently into the sauce.

Add a splash of starchy pasta water to create a creamy consistency.

Give it a final mix until the pasta is beautifully coated and serve immediately with freshly ground black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, fresh chili, and basil.
