Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 250 g bucatini pasta, or any shape of your choice
- 100 g salami, roughly torn into pieces
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 chilli, finely sliced (or to taste)
- 350 g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- Drizzle of balsamic or red wine vinegar
- Half bunch fresh basil, finely sliced with a few leaves reserved for garnish
- 1 fresh burrata
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente and then drain, reserving a small amount of the pasta water.
-
While the pasta is cooking, place the torn salami into a frying pan and cook on medium heat until crispy. Add the garlic and chilli and stir for a minute until fragrant. Turn down the heat and add the cherry tomatoes, stirring for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are starting to burst and release their juice. Add a good drizzle of balsamic or red wine vinegar. Add the chopped basil and stir until wilted.
-
Remove from the heat and add the drained pasta to the frypan, mixing to combine all ingredients and coat the pasta in the tomato juices. If it’s looking a little dry, add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Serve with halved burrata ball on each plate and some fresh basil leaves on top.
