Fusilli with burst cherry tomatoes, mint, and burrata from Dinner: Changing the Game (page 182) by Melissa Clark

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    EYB has corrected a typo in the recipe title, which appears in the book as "Fusilli with burst cherry tomatoes, mints, and burrata."

    Easy prep and fresh flavor combination, perfect for warmer weather days.

    I liked this but received complaints from the family - T didn’t like the “herb salad” and O objected to visible chunks of tomato. I also thought the leftovers were very good cold! But I won’t make again. (Made with 1pint of cherry tomatoes & three small field tomatoes, mozzarella instead of burrata)

    Made this for my night Mah jong group - agree this needs a lot more cherry tomatoes and parmesan than the recipe suggests. I used scapes, flat leaf parsley and mint for my herbs. Highly recommend. Consider adding niscoise olives and topping with pine nuts next time.

    This was great! I made it per the recipe using about 2/3rds mint and 1/3 basil (which the notes suggest as a possible alternative to just using mint). I wasn't sure if I would care for the mint but I really liked it. I'll make this again but probably up (or even double) the amount of cherry tomatoes. I thought the pasta to cherry tomato ratio was a little to much in favor of the pasta.

    Another winner from this outstanding cookbook. Very simple to prepare, quick and easy - but remarkably flavorful. I loved the mix of the warm, burst tomatoes, the creamy cheese (I used buffalo mozzarella), and the abundance of fresh herbs (I used a mix of mint and basil). Excellent.

    We liked this, but I made some changes (which I regret). Subbed fresh spaghetti instead of fusilli. Only used mint and didn't add the basil we bought. Epd thought the cheese was too much for him even though we each got one ball of burrata. Ruby (now 3 yo) cried hysterically when I put it in front her (garnished with green onions and mint). She just ended up eating the spaghetti! I liked it because of all the fresh ingredients/flavors, but wasn't blown away. 8/1/17
