Roasted Tomatoes Burrata Pasta with Pesto (vegetarian, gf option)

Jump to Recipe

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.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove
