Vegetarian

Roasted tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes halved

Extra virgin olive oil

Dried oregano

Sea salt,  to taste

Almond pesto

Almonds,  finely chopped

Loosely packed fresh basil leaves,  plus more for garnish

Extra virgin olive oil,  plus more as needed

Freshly grated parmigiano reggiano

Pasta

Fresh orecchiette or dried orecchiette

1. Make the roasted tomatoes:preheat the oven to 250f. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil and dried oregano. Season with salt.

step 1

2. Transfer the tomatoes to a medium baking dish and roast until they are shriveled and dry, about 90 minutes.

step 2

3. Meanwhile, make the pesto:in a mortar, crush the almonds, cup of the basil and a heavy pinch of salt into a paste using the pestle.

step 3

4. Add a bit of olive oil to the mortar, but only as much as the herbs need in order to hydrate into a paste, no more than 3 tablespoons. (if you add too much oil, the pesto will quickly turn from green to a blackish-olive color.) when you have a smooth paste, stir in the parmigiano-reggiano and set the pesto aside.

step 4

5. Cook the pasta:bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Heavily salt the water. When the salt has dissolved, add the orecchiette and cook until they lose their raw flavor, about 3 minutes.

step 5

6. Drain the orecchiette and transfer to a large bowl. Add the pesto, stirring to coat. Stir in the tomatoes and the burrata; garnish with basil.
