Or, how about using these ingredients in a simple Italian salad or sticky roasted tomatoes with burrata, pine nuts and basil?

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the shallots, garlic and tomatoes in a roasting tin, then toss with the oil and plenty of salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to burst. Remove from the oven (see Flavour Boost and Make Ahead).
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain well, then tip into the tomato roasting tin and toss to mix with the tomatoes and coat in the cooking juices.
  3. Transfer to a warm platter, top with the burrata, then sprinkle over the basil and some black pepper. Spoon over any remaining cooking juices from the roasting tin and drizzle with more oil, if you like.
