Ingredients
Pasta and Base
- 8 oz Pasta (fettuccine or penne)
- 1 can Canned Tomatoes (crushed or whole)
- 8 oz Burrata Can substitute with mozzarella or ricotta
Flavor Enhancers
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil For sautéing

Instructions
Cooking the Pasta
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining.
Making the Sauce
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Optionally, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of sugar for richer flavor.
Combining Everything
- Add the drained pasta to the tomato sauce, tossing gently. If it’s too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Tear or slice the burrata into pieces and let it melt into the warm pasta.
Serving
- Finish with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve and enjoy!
