Whipped Burrata with Pasta and Tomatoes

Whipped burrata with pasta is turning into my new summer go-to meal. Plus tomatoes. You can never have too many tomatoes this time of the year. Especially those super flavorful heirloom varieties.

Well, since it's another gorgeous day in Northern California, I think that it calls for yet another summery pasta dish!  This one was quite simple ... and was put together with a bunch of leftover heirloom cherry tomatoes from the farmers' market.  Oh, and whipped burrata cheese.  Because what pasta dish -- or dish in general -- is complete without some sort of cheese.

The whipped burrata from this dish can be used on a variety of dishes -- from pasta to summer salads to roasted vegetables. Sky's the limit, really!

Ingredients:

  • Pasta of choice (I used whole grain rotini)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 ball of burrata cheese 
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Heirloom cherry tomatoes (*see note in directions)
  • 1 tbsp of diced parsley 

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package instructions (and be sure to salt your pasta water).  Once cooked, drain and return to pan.  Add in olive oil and garlic.  Stir for about a minute until garlic is slightly cooked.  Remove from heat/pan and pour pasta into serving bowl.  Stir in the heirloom cherry tomatoes. 

*Some of my heirloom tomatoes were super small, so I left them whole.  The ones that were slightly larger, I cut in half.  I also really looooooove tomatoes, so for my individual dish of pasta, I probably used about 15 cherry tomatoes.  Depending on your love of tomatoes, adjust this amount accordingly.

In a food processor, add burrata, salt and pepper.  Pulse until the burrata has turned smooth and creamy.

Spoon about half of the whipped burrata onto your pasta/tomato mixture and then garnish with parsley.

Enjoy!
