BUCATINI WITH TOMATOES AND BURRATA

With the weather cooling down and the last of tomatoes collected, I’m sharing a recipe that can easily be made with home grown or store-bought tomatoes. The bursting flavors of summer might be fading but these tomatoes are not. Adding crunch with the raw corn and the creaminess of the burrata makes this pasta a match made in heaven with the deliciously light, bright, creamy Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay.BUCATINI WITH TOMATOES AND BURRATA

WHAT’S BUCATINI PASTA YOU ASK?

Bucatini pasta is a thick, spaghetti-like pasta with a hole running through the centre. That’s right. A little hole, that runs all the way through the noodle! Spaghetti or linguine get coated with sauce, with bucatini, it gets coated and filled with sauce! The hollow centre delivers more sauce with each bite! I’m all about the sauce. Are you?

Let’s talk about the wine I chose to pair with this delicious bucatini pasta with tomatoes and burrata.

BUCATINI WITH TOMATOES AND BURRATA
To make today’s recipe, you will only need a few ingredients and there are high chances you already have some of them in your kitchen! All it takes to make this beautiful dish are some tomatoes, olive oil, a bit of butter for the pasta, fresh basil, lemon, fresh corn, burrata and Parmesan.

Best way to release the sweet flavors from tomatoes is roasting them until they burst with flavor. Juices and flavor are released to makes a simple sauce for this dish. If you aren’t into tomatoes or can’t find good ones, try my pesto with this pasta, arugula basil pesto, it would add a great flavor too.

Grab all your ingredients and get cooking. Open a bottle of Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay and your ready to enjoy your meal.

    As a single mom that works full time, I like to have an arsenal of dishes that I can make quickly after work and my daughter will eat. Not only was this fast but it is SO GOOD and my daughter loved it. I have started roasting my tomatoes like this for other dishes as well. Thank you for sharing!!
