Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Burrata Pasta

Summer is when I most miss being a kid. The uncomplicated, unhurried delight
of it all: waking up late without any plans, break from school & homework,
eating mangoes from the trees, and sipping on lemonades.

These days, my summers are hardly indistinguishable from the rest of the year
— busy, over-scheduled, gone in a snap — with the exception of more sunshine.
And there is, as always, the matter of what to eat three times a day. I guess
this is what adulting is all about!

The last thing I want to do nowadays is spend more time in a balmy kitchen.
Hence, I am always on the look out for recipes that are quick, easy and
require minimal effort.

This Sun-Dried Tomato & Burrata Pasta is truly one of those all-in-one dinners
that everyone at the table will love.

Al dente pasta tossed with luscious sun-dried tomatoes and finished off with
fresh burrata cheese on top that melts into every bite. Bold, creamy, and
utterly luxurious.

With a creamy texture and the indulgent finish of burrata cheese, this dish
strikes the perfect balance between comfort food and culinary elegance.

WHAT IS BURRATA?

Burrata is a soft, fresh cheese that hails from Italy, and is similar to that
of mozarella. The word burrata actually stems from the word for “butter,” and
that’s exactly what you’ll taste once you dig into this creamy, lush cheese.
While mozzarella is known for its slight firmness & elasticity, there’s
something extra luxurious about Burrata’s creamy decadence.

With its luscious interior and delicate outer shell, this cheese can elevate
any dish to a gourmet experience.

VARIATIONS:

Here are a few changes that you can make while creating this recipe:

• BURRATA CHEESE: If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella
  is your next best option. You could also use ricotta for a different
  but still creamy texture. Just let the cheese come to room
  temperature before using.
• KIND OF PASTA: I used rigatoni, but any kind of short pasta
  like penne, fusilli, farfalle works great too.
