You’d never guess that this luxe pasta dish—dotted with creamy burrata cheese—comes together in under 30 minutes! After sautéing diced tomatoes, you’ll build a sauce with pesto, butter, and a swirl of tangy crème fraîche. Then you’ll stir in your cavatappi, top the dish with panko, burrata, and bake it until everything is golden brown and melty.

Instructions

Prep
1

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve tomatoes lengthwise; cut crosswise into into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.

Boil Pasta & Mix Panko
2

• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. • While pasta cooks, in a small bowl, combine panko, 1 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and pepper (2 TBSP olive oil and 1 tsp salt for 4). • Adjust oven rack to top position; heat broiler to high.

Make Sauce
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2-4 minutes. • Stir in pesto, crème fraîche, drained pasta, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup reserved pasta cooking water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until coated, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. (If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer pasta mixture to a baking dish now.)

Finish & Serve
4

• Evenly top pasta with panko mixture. Tear burrata into bite-size pieces and arrange on top of pasta. • Broil on top rack until panko is golden bown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning! • Divide pasta between shallow bowls and serve. 

Ground Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
