It's almost birthday time!! And we're celebrating with this Tomato Basil Pasta LOADED with burrata cheese, toasted breadcrumbs and basil vinaigrette. You'll want to make it immediately.
My birthday is in just over ONE WEEK!! I'm so excited I can barely stand it!! This year it's going to be an al fresco dinner party and I'm READY. I'm also functioning under the notion that carbs don't count leading up to birthdays so Tomato Basil Pasta with Burrata and Breadcrumbs is happening.
It's basically a combination of all my favorite things. Pasta - duh. My homemade Basil Vinaigrette that I can't live without - obviously. Burrata - my most favorite kind of cheese of all times. Toasted Breadcrumbs - to give the whole thing a slight bite. And the most perfect summer tomatoes that are at the farmers market right now and I can't seem to get enough. It's my favorite pasta of the moment and I can promise you that you'll be equally as obsessed.
The burrata gives, what would already be a delicious pasta dish, that extra creaminess that makes it 100% irresistible!
Tomato Basil Pasta with Burrata
Ingredients
- 1 lb fettuccine
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 balls burrata
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 recipe Basil Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the cherry tomatoes in some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 20-30 minutes until burst.
- Toast the breadcrumbs with a little olive oil in the oven while the tomatoes are roasting until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and toss with ½ cup of the basil vinaigrette. Toss to combine. Add more basil vinaigrette as needed. Add roasted tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Divide evenly amongst 4-6 bowls. Top with a scoop of burrata that is to be mixed into the pasta upon eating, and garnish with bread crumbs, salt, pepper and basil leaves.
Could the balsamic vinaigrette work for this?
totally
Looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it Can you tell me where I can find you me basil vinaigrette recipe please? Thanks Gaby!
Can't wait for all my basil to come in so I can make this all season long!
My son loved this dinner! Thank you
SO GOOD! We omitted the cheese as we are dairy free but the flavors were bursting, This dish is now in the summer rotation. Kids love it. Thank you!!!
Made this last night, and was not disappointed! Even my semi-picky boyfriend said to put it in the "rotation"!
I cannot get burrata at my grocery store. What are my options. Thanks
buffalo mozzarella would work
Hi, I cannot find burrata in my grocery store. What is the other option. Thanks
How do I pin your recipe to Pinterest?
I made this and it was amazing. My hubbie is not a huge fan of pesto, but the peso vinaigrette was so delicioso and light with lots of flavor. We loved it. Could not find burrata (booo) but used soft mozz in its place. The unexpected thing about this recipe was the bread crumbs! They put it over the top! Don't leave them out! I am ready to make it again now that I'm talking about it. We went to Italy this year, and everything is amazing there. I am a lemon lover now! LEEEMOAN. sorry.
This was really delicious! I only had one ball of burrata for the 4 of us so I added some parmesan to our second helpings. I will be making again. Thank you!
What a delicious idea for birthday dinner!! So flavorful!!
this makes me want to book a flight stat!!
All my favorite thanks (and carbs do not count all of your bday month!)
My kind of dinner!!! Love this.
