Print Recipe

A vibrant and creamy dish made with roasted cherry tomatoes, tender orzo pasta, and luscious burrata cheese. Perfect as a light vegetarian main or elegant side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 ball burrata cheese
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar if using. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, until tomatoes are blistered and soft.
  2. Meanwhile, cook orzo according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo with the roasted tomatoes and any pan juices. Add chopped basil and toss to combine.
  4. Transfer to a serving dish and place the burrata cheese in the center. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and top with cracked black pepper.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature, with optional grated Parmesan on top.

Notes

  • Best served fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated gently.
  • For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream or a pat of butter into the orzo.
  • Substitute mozzarella pearls if burrata is unavailable.
