ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 (8.8 ounce) boxes Trader Joe's Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli
  • 1/2 cup pasta water
  • 2 balls burrata
  • 2 tablespoons basil, julienned
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 tablespoon finishing olive oil
  • Flaky salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  • Step 1

    Get a large pot of salted water boiling.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, add olive oil, cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt to a large, heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat.

  • Step 3

    Cook down for 15-20 minutes, stirring every so often, until tomatoes begin to burst. Feel free to also smash any tomatoes that haven’t burst on their own with the back of a spatula.

  • Step 4

    Once jammy and thick, add butter and garlic and cook down for 5 more minutes.

  • Step 5

    Add uncooked raviolis to the boiling water and cook util they’re floating and puffed up.

  • Step 6

    Add cooked raviolis to the burst tomato sauce along with a 1/2 cup of pasta water. Cook for 1 more minute to help the sauce stick to the raviolis.

  • Step 7

    Turn off the heat and add burrata, torn into pieces on top. Finish with a drizzle of finishing oil, basil, lemon zest, flaky salt and fresh cracked pepper.
