Print Recipe

A summer-inspired pasta dish featuring roasted cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, and fragrant basil all tossed with al dente pasta and crowned with creamy burrata for an indulgent, fresh flavor explosion.

Ingredients

  • Pasta (Rigatoni or Fusilli): 8 oz – hearty and holds onto the sauce well
  • Cherry Tomatoes: 2 cups – roasted for rich sweetness and juiciness
  • Sweet Corn Kernels: 1 cup – adds pops of natural sweetness
  • Burrata Cheese: 1 large ball (about 4 oz) – adds creamy decadence
  • Fresh Basil Leaves: ½ cup, loosely packed – adds aromatic brightness
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced – for depth and flavor
  • Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons – used for roasting and sautéing
  • Salt: to taste – enhances all ingredients
  • Fresh Cracked Pepper: to taste – adds subtle spice
  • Reserved Pasta Water: ¼ cup – used to create a silky sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the tomatoes.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until blistered.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water before draining.
  4. Assemble the Dish: While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then add corn and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
  5. Cook to Perfection: In a large bowl, combine pasta, roasted tomatoes, sautéed corn, garlic, and remaining olive oil. Add reserved pasta water and toss gently.
  6. Finishing Touches: Tear burrata over the top. Scatter with fresh basil leaves and season with extra salt and cracked pepper.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread or a crisp green salad.

Notes

  • Use high-quality pasta for the best bite and sauce cling.
  • Add chili flakes or lemon zest for extra brightness.
  • Use multi-colored cherry tomatoes for a beautiful presentation.
  • Add grilled shrimp or chicken for a protein boost.
