What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

Spaghetti is our go-to for this dish, but you can easily swap it with linguine or even short shapes like fusilli if that’s what you have on hand. The key is something that will twirl beautifully or hold onto the juicy tomato and burrata sauce.

How To Make the Burrata Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, Fresh Basil & Sweet Corn

Step 1: Roast the Tomatoes and Corn

Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a sheet pan, toss the cherry tomatoes and corn kernels with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tomatoes are blistered and bursting.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

While the veggies roast, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

Step 3: Combine and Toss

In a large skillet or bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, roasted tomatoes, and corn. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to help everything coat and glisten.

Step 4: Add Burrata and Basil

Tear the burrata over the hot pasta so it melts slightly. Scatter fresh basil leaves and finish with cracked black pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
