Equipment

  • large pan
  • Pasta pot

Ingredients
  

  • 350-400 g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon double cream
  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
  • Squeeze lemon
  • 150 g pasta
  • Salt and pepper

Topping

  • Burrata
  • Pesto

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a little oil. Add the cherry tomatoes with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes they begin to soften and blister. Stir occasionally until they start releasing their juices. Turn the heat to medium, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. At this point add the pasta on to boil.

  • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until reduced slightly. Stir in the tomato purée, balsamic vinegar, honey, and chilli flakes. Cook for 5 minutes, gently pressing some of the tomatoes so they burst and create a jammy sauce.

  • Lower the heat and stir in the double cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a ladle of pasta water and simmer for 2 minutes until smooth and glossy.
    1 tablespoon double cream
  • Add cooked pasta directly into the sauce along with a splash of pasta water if needed. Toss until every piece is coated in the silky honey balsamic tomato pasta sauce and add a squeeze of lemon. Plate the pasta and top with burrata and spoonfuls of pesto. Tear into the burrata so the creamy centre runs into the sauce.

Notes

Use Good Tomatoes - Because tomatoes are the base of the sauce, ripe and sweet cherry tomatoes make a huge difference. If your tomatoes are underripe, cook them a little longer to concentrate their sweetness.
