Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add your choice of pasta and cook until it's al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, scraping the skillet to release flavorful bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering for another 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, mixing it with the creamy sauce. Pour in reserved pasta water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Plate the creamy pasta, placing burrata cheese on top. Garnish with fresh basil, additional Parmesan, and lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately.
