This Sungold Tomato Pasta is a cheesy, summery dream featuring blistered golden tomatoes, rich roasted garlic, and a creamy finish of mozzarella and Parm. The sweetness of Sungold tomatoes pairs beautifully with the umami depth of roasted garlic, all brought together with a luscious heavy cream sauce. Finished with fresh basil and loads of cheese, it’s the perfect cozy-meets-bright dish—ideal for warm weather or whenever you need a boost of sunshine on your plate.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tomato Blistering Technique 🍅Use a cast-iron skillet and ensure it's scorching hot before adding Sungold tomatoes to achieve perfect caramelization and intense flavor development.
- Roasted Garlic Perfection 🧄Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil before roasting to create a creamy, mellow garlic base that melts into the sauce.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Reserve at least 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining - it's liquid gold for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that perfectly coats the Banza cavatappi.
- Cheese Layering Technique 🧀Tear the burrata just before serving and layer it gently over the hot pasta, allowing it to create luxurious, creamy pockets throughout the dish.
- Fresh Basil Maximization 🌿Tear fresh basil leaves instead of chopping to prevent bruising, and add them at the very last moment to preserve their vibrant flavor and bright green color.
