The sauce for this dish is roasted in the oven while the pasta cooks on the stovetop. A can of cherry tomatoes and a jar of pesto makes this dish a convenient pantry pull.

Dolloped with creamy Burrata cheese.

Ingredients:

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 sweet bell peppers, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces (I used 2 red and 1 yellow pepper)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce
  • 1 14 ounce can of cherry tomatoes
  • 4 Tablespoons Tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 ounces of plain Goat cheese
  • 16 ounces of your favorite Pasta, I used Casarecce shaped pasta
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup of BelGioioso Salad Blend Cheese (blend of Asiago, Parmesan, Provolone, and Romano cheese)
  • 1 ball of Burrata Cheese
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Adding the pasta into the roasted sauce.
Mix it up.
Add on the BelGioioso and Parmesan cheese. Dollop on the Burrata Cheese.
Serve it up and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Place the peppers, onions, garlic, pesto, cherry tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a large baking dish. Mix it up. Put the goat cheese in the middle of the dish and cover the cheese with the sauce mixture.
  • Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, until the mixture is dark and peppers are soft and cherry tomatoes burst.
  • While the sauce is roasting, cook the pasta al dente, according to package directions. Be sure to reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water in case the sauce is too thick.
  • When the sauce is done, take the baking dish out of the oven and stir well to distribute the melted goat cheese throughout, making a creamy sauce.
  • Add in the cooked pasta and stir well. If dry, add in the pasta water to loosen the sauce. Taste for seasonings and add more, if necessary.
  • Sprinkle on the BelGioioso and Parmesan cheeses. Dollop the top with the Burrata cheese. Put back in the oven and bake until the cheese is gooey and melty.
  • Scoop into a pasta bowl and drizzle the top with balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!
