Preparation

How to prepare Pasta with cherry tomato sauce and stracciatella

To prepare the pasta with cherry tomato sauce and stracciatella, start by cutting the cherry tomatoes in half 1. In a large pan, pour the oil 2 and flavor it with the crushed, unpeeled garlic cloves 3.

After 3 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes 4, fragrance with the basil leaves 5, and season with salt 6.

Add a dash of black pepper 7 and cover with a lid 8. Cook for about 20 minutes over medium-low heat 9.

When the cherry tomatoes are cooked and softened 10, transfer them to a pitcher 11 and blend with an immersion blender 12.

Pass the obtained cream through a fine mesh strainer to remove the tomato skins and seeds 13. Set aside the cherry tomato cream in the pan 14. In another pitcher, season half of the stracciatella with salt and pepper 15,

Pour the olive oil 16 and blend 17 until you achieve a smooth and silky consistency 18.

Cook the bucatini in boiling salted water 19. When they are al dente, drain them into the pan with the sauce 20. Stir and toss the pasta for a minute 21.

Serve your first course by pouring the stracciatella cream on the bottom 22, then place a generous nest of bucatini 23 and top with a spoonful of sauce 24.

Garnish with the remaining stracciatella 25 and a few fresh basil leaves 26. Your pasta with cherry tomato sauce and stracciatella is ready to be served 27!
