Fettuccine with Tomatoes and Burrata Cheese!
And when I say it’s easy to make, I mean easy! Besides the pasta there is no cooking involved in this recipe, just a little bit of chopping and you have a gorgeous meal.
TIPS FOR COOKING PASTA:
When cooking pasta there are only a few things to remember:
1. Follow pasta box cooking instructions, they usually are right on.
2. Salt the water for flavor.
3. To keep pasta from sticking be sure to have lots of water in your pot, at least several inches above the pasta to allow room for expansion
4. stir frequently.
Because I have significantly cut back on grains, I used Cappello’s Grain Free Pasta for this recipe. Of course you can use your favorite brand of fettuccine. Cappello’s cooks in 60 seconds and is made with almond flour. I like the texture of this pasta much better than any grain/gluten free pasta I have ever tried.
Let’s Talk Ingredients:
When recipes have so few ingredients, those ingredients need to be top notch! Use the best ripe but firm tomatoes, a high quality olive oil and sea salt, and ALWAYS use the freshest basil. I like to buy the live basil plants you can find in the produce section rather than buy the cut basil leaves. That way I can use what I need when I need it, and the plant lives for weeks so it’s more economical too.
To create ribbons of basil I use a technique called a ‘chiffonade’: Simply stack your basil leaves, roll as tightly as you can and slice. You end up with thin ribbons of basil.
I love adding toasted pine nuts to just about any pasta dish! If you can only find raw pine nuts, simply place them in pan on medium heat, and slowly let them toast they are a beautiful golden color, then remove from heat. Don’t walk away, trust me, they go from perfection to burned in the time it takes you to check Instagram.
Burrata Cheese:
Burrata cheese is a combination of mozzarella and cream. When tossed with hot pasta it melts and makes a thick creamy ‘sauce’ without you having to do any additional work!
It’s just too good!
The Recipe: Fettuccine with Tomatoes and Burrata!
Tips and what you will need: You will need a good knife and a great sea salt! Burrata cheese can now be found at most grocery stores in the deli or gourmet cheese aisle.

I love that you showed how to cut the basil by rolling it. What a great idea! So much easier than doing each individual leaf!
Oooh, this looks delish! I love any kind of Italian cheese. I think I was born in the wrong country because I could subsist off pasta and wine!

I think I need to make my own burrata some day. I know I’ll love it, but I’m so sensitive to commercially made products. What a gorgeous dinner! So perfect with summer tomatoes! 🙂
That would be amazing I am sure! I have never made cheese of any kind. Let me know how it turns out!
I love burrata but I’ve only had it in salads. This is such a good idea! Like summer in a bowl.
I know burrata cheese is all the rage and I haven’t tried it yet — so I’m definitely going to give it a go with this beautify, fresh recipe next week. thanks for the inspo!
