Ingredients:

What is Burrata: Burrata is an Italian cow milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer casing is solid but the inside is cream-like. If you can’t find burrata, you can use mozzarella but it will give a bit different of a texture and will take longer to melt. I love to use burrata in salads, on its own, or as a way to make dishes super creamy like this burrata pasta.

Spaghettini: Slightly thicker than angel hair pasta, spaghettini is one of my favs. Traditionally used with seafood-based sauces or oil-based sauces, but I love it in any spaghetti/pasta dish, especially this burrata pasta.

How to make this burrata pasta recipe:

  1. Add the unsalted butter, olive oil, shallots, garlic, diced tomatoes, capers, dried oregano, salt, cracked black pepper and red chili flakes to a medium-sized pot over medium high heat.
  2. Allow the ingredients to cook down and combine for 15 – 20 minutes.
  3. While the ingredients cook down, prepare the Spaghettini according to the instructions on the package in a large pot.
  4. Rinse and strain.
  5. Transfer back to the pot and allow to cool slightly. You can a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. After the 20 minutes, transfer the sauce ingredients to a blender.
  7. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Pour the sauce into the large pot with the Spaghettini and mix to combine.

    Great, but why have you cups, grams and ozs in this recipe?

    Maria Koutsogiannis

    Because that is how pasta and cheese is measured. Pasta as per the package, and burrata as per the package to help increase specifics. Thanks.

    those capers add a nice salty, briney flavor! I even garnished with a few more on top because I love them so much

    fresh and flavorful! what I love most is that its a creamy pasta sauce and doesn’t leave me with that heavy feeling that cream sauces can sometimes give

    I knew I had to make this recipe and then had to wait until my store had burrata back in stock (obviously everyone else wanted to try this recipe too). It was so flavorful with the capers and red pepper flakes, and didn’t feel as heavy as a cream sauce but still with that creamy comfort taste. Can’t wait to make again this winter.

    I am so glad you loved this!

    Very good and very quick. A couple of notes:
    1. If you’re using cherry tomatoes (like I did-that’s what I had) instead of field tomatoes that have more water, you may want to add some of the pasta water when blending the sauce to get some of the creaminess
    2. This is spicy, which I like, but you could easily do 1/4 teaspoon in the sauce and add as you like.

    Maria Koutsogiannis

    Thanks so much for your notes Stacey! I will keep note of this for sure!! I’m so happy that you were able to make adjustments to satisfy your taste buds 🙂
