The simplicity of this recipe will make your heart sing. Creamy rich burrata, coating thick bucatini pasta and offset with sweet, garlicky toamtoes. Forgo the chilli if cooking for littles.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water, as per the instructions on the packet, minus a minute or two.
Step 2
Finely slice the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes. Heat the olive oil in a wide based frying pan set over a medium heat and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Let them gently sizzle in the oil for a minute, then add the cherry tomatoes and sun dried tomato puree. Cook the cherry tomatoes down with a pinch of salt for 4-5 minutes, adding a spoonful of pasta water if it’s looking dry.
Step 3
Once the pasta is done to your liking, drain it, reserving a mugful of pasta water. Toss the pasta through the sauce, adding a good splash of pasta water to loosen everything.
Step 4
Tear in the basil and give everything a final toss, before piling onto plates and topping with a spoonful of creamy burrata, a drizzle of olive oil and some black pepper.
