    Roasted Tomatoes Burrata Pasta with Pesto is the perfect summer pasta dish that's quick and easy to make.

    Roasted Tomatoes Burrata Pasta with Pesto is essentially Spaghetti al Pomodoro con Burrata e Pesto.

    Last summer during quarantine I wanted to combine roasted tomatoes and pesto, but unfortunately, when you puree hot tomatoes and cold pesto, it's a disaster. Instead, I decided to toss the pasta in roasted tomatoes and top with dollops of pesto and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

    The end result is incredibly flavorful. It's a summer pasta dish not to be missed.

    Can I make Roasted Tomatoes Burrata Pasta with Pesto vegan / gluten-free?

    For vegan - you can replace burrata with vegan creamy cheese.

    For gluten-free - you can replace the pasta with a gluten-free spaghetti/linguine pasta.

    Tips on making Roasted Tomatoes Burrata Pasta with Pesto:

    • Make the roasted tomatoes by combining a few basic ingredients.
    • I recommend using spaghetti or linguine for this dish as the sauce sticks the pasta perfectly.
    • Feel free to make homemade pesto or use store-bought to save time. These days you can find really good store-bought pesto at Whole Foods.
    • Make sure you add reserved pasta water to the spaghetti and sauce - this will help thin out the sauce and bind the pasta (if you're using gluten pasta).
    • Burrata pairs beautifully with the pasta in this dish. It's creamy, rich, and so delicious. You can always opt for the classic mozzarella if you wish.
    • Don't forget to drizzle this dish with balsamic glaze. You can find this at Trader Joe's.

      I was looking for a Burrata recipe when I came across yours. It’s very good! My husband added chicken to his. BTW regular, not cherry, tomatoes work too!
