What would you cook for a MasterChef Perino tomatoes mystery box challenge ? I had so many ideas but I decided to go with my heart… a beyond delicious Roasted Tomato Pasta drizzled with basil oil and topped with oozing burrata.
I have been using Perino tomatoes for years, and my kids also have them in their lunch boxes every week. They make an excellent snack food!
Why not give this recipe a go or give your own Perino Tomato mystery box challenge a go!
This recipe can be made with a Thermomix or blender – you will need an oven to slow roast the Grape Tomatoes though.
My kids & I absolutely loved this for an easy mid-week dinner and even had plenty left for lunches.
It does make an absolutely STUNNING feature on any table when entertaining. Honestly, who can resist an oozing Burrata?!
If you can’t find Burrata, you could use fresh Mozzarella or even a beautiful Feta. The ooze of the burrata mixes beautifully with the roasted tomatoes to coat the pasta though.
For my Dairy Free and Gluten Free Skinnymixers
- Dairy Free – Simply omit the burrata or replace with your favourite dairy-free cheese.
- Gluten Free – As we cook the pasta on the stovetop, you can easily cook as per packet instructions
- Lower Carb – Replace cooked spaghetti with fresh zoodles and really measure that Basil Oil with your heart. You might like to reduce some of the grape tomatoes and add some zucchini to be roasted also.
