    Helloooo, friends! Somehow, inexplicably, I feel like I haven't blogged in forever. Which is silly, considering I literally blogged last Thursday. Whatever. I think my brain is slowly but surely losing it. But I digress! Today, I am sharing my {and soon to be yours} new pasta obsession. Roasted Cherry Tomato and Burrata Pasta! This is seriously stupid-easy and packs SO MUCH FLAVOR. Though at this point, I should already know roasting is the magic key to basically all vegetables ever.

    This pasta dish has a few super simple components, so let's start from the top. The sauce is literally just cherry tomatoes, halved, tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh oregano, and roasted until melty and blistering and sweet. So sauce: check. For the noodles, you do want something a bit sturdy - I went with thick spaghetti here, but we also tried using mezzi rigatoni and those were amazing as well! Yes, we are Italian so clearly different sauces call for specific kinds of noodle shapes. And yes that also implies I've already made this twice {I really DO love it}.

    Last but definitely not least, the burrata. Do you know what burrata is? Because if not, I have 4 words for you. YOU. ARE. MISSING. OUT. Burrata is like fresh mozzarella's definitely-better-but-less-known cousin. The outside is essentially mozzarella skin, but the inside is mozzarella shreds mixed with cream. AKA THE CREAMIEST CHEESE. Think almost like ricotta but better and with a creamier texture. Mix that sucker into some steaming hot spaghetti, let it melt on top, and dig into your new favorite dish. Burrata pasta. You're welcome.

    Onto slightly related news, did y'all know fresh oregano is a thing?! I mean, clearly, I knew fresh oregano existed because the dry stuff has to come from somewhere. But apparently it's a thing, and it's also a thing that grows by the bush-ful in my backyard. Don't be surprised if I suddenly start using a lot more oregano in my cooking 😉 If you can get your hands on some, it's amazing with the roasted tomatoes! If not, you can use dry oregano of course, or use fresh basil instead. Either way, SUPER yum.

    If you're not a huge cheese person or can't find burrata, no worries! You can easily just veganize this and eat it without the cheese. You could also replace it with some fresh mozzarella pieces, or a healthy sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan. No matter what you do, it's sure to be delicious! 🙂

    Recipe type: Vegetarian
    Cuisine: Italian
    Serves: 4
    Ingredients
    • 1 lb thick spaghetti {or your favorite pasta}
    • 1 pint {10oz} cherry tomatoes {I love the rainbow heirloom ones!}
    • 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 bunch fresh oregano
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 8 oz burrata {I like the package that has four 2oz pieces in it}
    • for tossing: 3-4 tablespoon olive oil
    Instructions
    1. First, roast the tomatoes. Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
    2. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, cut in half, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh oregano leaves.
    3. Lay out in a single layer on the baking sheet, and cook for about 10 minutes, until soft, blistered, and slightly charred.
    4. While the tomatoes cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions.
    5. In a large bowl or serving platter, toss the cooked pasta with the additional olive oil and the roasted tomatoes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
    6. Top the big bowl of pasta with the burrata to serve family-style, or divide among 4 plates and top each with a portion of burrata. Serve immediately!

      I agree about roasting vegetables, my favorite way of cooking them. I love this dish, but although I have heard of burrata, I haven't even seen it around here. Must try this with parmesan or mozzarelle like you suggest!
