My favorite part about this recipe is the burrata that each serving gets on the top of their pasta. It never gets old. You can find burrata at Trader Joe's or Aldi if you're lucky.

You'll Need:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 packages chopped cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 lb linguine
• 4-6 balls of burrata cheese
• fresh basil

Tomato and Burrata Linguine Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes.

While linguine is cooking, heat olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add your cherry tomatoes and let them cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in your salt, pepper, and garlic.

Cook for another 8 minutes or until the tomatoes start to look blistered. You want the tomatoes to be blistered so the juice starts to create a sauce.

Before draining your pasta, scoop a large mug-ful of pasta water and set aside.

Add your drained pasta to the pan and stir well.

Next, add your reserved pasta water 2 tbsp at a time to let the sauce thicken.

After everything is mixed together, plate your pasta and top with fresh burrata cheese and lots of fresh basil. Mangia!
