Ingredients
225g spaghetti or linguine
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup fresh sweet corn (from about 2 ears)
1 ball burrata cheese (about 125g)
1 handful fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
½ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes and corn with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until tomatoes blister and corn is golden.
4. Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water. Cook pasta until al dente.
5. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain pasta.
6. In a large bowl, toss pasta with roasted veggies and a splash of pasta water.
7. Divide pasta into bowls or plates.
8. Tear burrata and place over each serving. Let it soften and melt slightly.
9. Top with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and parmesan if using.
10. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
Let the burrata sit at room temperature before serving so it melts more easily into the pasta.
Don’t skip the reserved pasta water — it helps create a light sauce with the tomato juices and olive oil.
If using frozen corn, make sure it’s thawed and dry before roasting to avoid steaming.
