A classic rooted in the humble cuisine of Southern Italy, where the excellence of pasta meets the noble dairy tradition of Apulia. Basil, a symbol of royalty since ancient times, blends with the sweetness of tomato in an iconic pairing that celebrates the aromas of the Mediterranean. The freshness of burrata transforms an everyday ritual into a gourmet experience, creating a creamy contrast capable of enveloping every sense
Heat the tomato purée in a large pan over low heat with a little salt and extra virgin olive oil
2
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water
3
Drain the pasta al dente and toss it in the pan over high heat together with the sauce
4
Season with shredded burrata, a drizzle of oil, a few fresh basil leaves, and a little pepper
Storage
Store the pasta in the refrigerator for a maximum of one day in an airtight container, heating it before adding the burrata.
Freezing is not recommended to preserve the creamy consistency of the dairy product and the fragrance of the fresh basil.
Cost
The recipe is based on inexpensive and easily available ingredients such as pasta and tomato purée, with the addition of a fresh element. The overall cost remains affordable, making it an accessible everyday dish while still maintaining high quality
Health
This dish offers a good balance between carbohydrates and antioxidants thanks to the lycopene in tomatoes and the monounsaturated fats in olive oil. The addition of stracciatella increases the intake of saturated fats and calories, making the meal more energy-dense and less digestible
