Method:
- In a frying pan over a medium-high heat, warm the Napolina Roasted Garlic & Herbs Flavoured Olive Oil. Add the cherry tomatoes on the vine and cook for around 5 minutes, until blistered and softened, then set aside.
- Using the same pan, add the basil pesto, a ladle of reserved pasta water and the Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir together for 1 minute until silky and combined, then add the cooked Napolina Casarecce and gently toss to coat.
- Divide between bowls and top with the burrata, blistered vine tomatoes and toasted pine nuts. Finish with extra Parmigiano Reggiano, fresh basil leaves and a twist of black pepper. Buon appetito!
