Serves: 4
250g cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
300g L'Abruzzese Casalinga Mixed Olive Leaves
1 ball burrata cheese 200g
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano (optional)
1/2 cup torn fresh basil (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Toss the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until softened, about 20 minutes. Return to the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes and make a chunky sauce.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes; add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
- Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss. Stir in the oregano (optional) and season with salt and pepper. Top the pasta with the burrata ball
