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
8 ounces burrata, torn into pieces
Basil for serving, larger leaves torn or chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 13-inch by 9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in the prepared pan. Stir the ingredients together. Then spread the tomatoes into a single layer as best as you can. The tomatoes will fit tightly next to each other.
Roast the tomatoes for 45-50 minutes until they are wrinkled and juicy.
Toward the end of the roasting time for the tomatoes, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente according to package instructions.
Use tongs to transfer the cooked spaghetti directly from the pot to the pan with the roasted tomatoes, tossing everything to combine. If you are making a shorter pasta shape, use a slotted spoon or a spider instead of tongs.
Spoon the pasta onto a serving dish or divide it onto individual plates. Add the torn burrata and basil as you plate the pasta.

Notes

Instead of spaghetti, you can substitute with bucatini. For shorter shapes, try penne, fusilli or gemelli.

If you can’t find burrata, substitute with fresh mozzarella cheese.

I like tearing the burrata into pieces. Another option is to slice the ball in half. Then you can scoop out the cheese as you serve it.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat the pasta in a skillet over low to medium heat or microwave it. The burrata will melt a bit. You can take out the pieces of cheese before you reheat the pasta and then toss them back into the warm pasta. Add fresh basil leaves if possible.
