To create this Burrata Pasta, gather the following key ingredients:

12 ounces of your favorite pasta (spaghetti or penne works well)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Burrata Pasta Ingredients:

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until it's browned and cooked through. Remove excess grease if necessary.

Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Prepare the Burrata, Tomato, and Basil Blend: In a blender, combine the can of crushed tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and half of the torn burrata cheese pieces. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Pour into the skillet.

Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the tomato and sausage sauce. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

Add Fresh Basil: Gently fold in the fresh basil leaves to infuse the dish with a burst of herbal aroma.

Serve with Burrata: Place the torn burrata cheese pieces on top of the hot pasta. The heat from the pasta will cause the burrata to melt slightly, creating a luxurious, creamy sauce.

Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately while the burrata pasta is hot and gooey.
