Ingredients:
8 oz rigatoni pasta
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 ball of burrata cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
Cook the Pasta: Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Assemble the Dish: Toss the cooked pasta with the roasted tomatoes, adding a little pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Plate the pasta and top with the burrata cheese.
