Pasta Preparation

1

Cook the Penne

In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Roasted Tomato Cream

2

Roast the Tomatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a baking dish, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes are blistered and softened.

3

Make the Cream

Once the tomatoes are roasted, transfer them to a blender. Add the heavy cream and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Combine and Serve

4

Mix Pasta with Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta with the roasted tomato cream. Toss until the pasta is well-coated.

5

Plate and Garnish

Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with fresh basil leaves and pieces of burrata cheese. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired.
