Since last week, we officially launched summer 2019. Close to the 30° C, sun and blue sky; of course, it is obvious that we spend the days mostly outside. Especially on days like this, I´m not really willing to prepare food that is associated with a lot of effort and time. It should be as quick as possible, easily digestible and yet saturating. This is how this delicious dish was born, which  tasted so good that I would like to share the result with you: spaghetti with caramelized tomatoes and burratta.

Pasta is always my choice when it needs to be uncomplicated, quick and for many people. You can easily prepare a real feast for your family and friends – also with their help of course. What could be more beautiful and relaxing when you cook, eat and enjoy the evening together? You also do not need to pull of a high end table decoration, cloth napkins or tablecloths; a few tea lights in glasses and some flowers fresh from the field do the job too. Just grab a plate, a fork and a spoon and let’s go!

The central part of this spaghetti with caramelized tomatoes is the parsley pesto, which I already shared with you here. As a dessert, you can also serve something light and simple: how about this fast mascarpone dessert with chocolate cookies (in German) or a creamy cheesecake?

Bon appétit you guys, have a great time!

Zutaten / Ingredients

  • 500 g spaghetti
  • 3-4 trusses cherry-tomatoes
  • 1 ball of burratta
  • ½ bunch of parsley
  • ½ bunch of basil
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsp balsamico vinegar
  • 9-10 tbsp olive oil extra native
  • salt, pepper

Anleitung / Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180° air circulation.
  • Put the tomatoes in a flat baking dish or on a baking tray, add some salt, pepper and sprinkle with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Put it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.
  • In the meantime, we prepare the pesto: finely chop the washed parsley leaves together with the basil leaves.
  • Mix the leaves in a bowl with the Parmesan cheese and garlic and pour in the olive oil until a smooth pesto is obtained.
  • Roast the pine nuts in a pan without adding fat until they are golden brown — be careful, they burn very quickly — and add the remaining balsamic vinegar. Add them to the pesto.
  • If necessary, add olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until they are al dente.
  • Mix the finished pasta well with the pesto. Take the caramelized tomatoes out of the oven, tear the burratta ball into larger pieces and serve both together with the pasta.
  • Sprinkle with some freshly grated pepper and serve immediately!
