Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces spaghetti (or bucatini, penne, fusilli, or gemelli)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • Fresh basil leaves for serving, larger leaves torn or chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 13×9-inch roasting pan with parchment paper.
  2. In the pan, mix cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread into a single layer.
  3. Roast for 45–50 minutes until tomatoes are wrinkled and juicy.
  4. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente.
  5. Transfer cooked pasta directly to the pan with roasted tomatoes using tongs or a slotted spoon. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve pasta on a platter or in bowls. Top with torn burrata and fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable.
  • Omit red pepper flakes for less spice or double them for extra heat.
  • Add vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for more texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers taste great the next day—reheat gently with a splash of olive oil.
  • For best flavor, add fresh basil just before serving.
