Instructions

1. Set the burrata in a bowl to come to room temperature while you make the sauce.
2. In a large saucepan or pot, sauté the olive oil and garlic cloves for a few minutes until golden.
3. Add the canned tomatoes, break them up slightly with a wooden spoon, then add one cup of water to the can, swirl to collect the leftover sauce, and add that to the pot.
4. Season well with salt and pepper, tear in the basil leaves, and simmer covered over low-medium heat for 20 minutes.
5. Let the sauce cool slightly, blend until smooth with an immersion blender or regular blender, then return it to the pot.
6. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, which is 2 minutes less than the package time.
7. Drain the pasta, reserving some pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce with the grated Parmigiano and a splash of pasta water, stirring until silky; add more pasta water if needed.
8. Remove the pan from the heat, place the burrata in the middle of the pasta and cut it open. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes.
