Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta rotini or small shells
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped very finely
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage sweet or spicy
  • 1 clove garlic minced finely
  • 29 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 burrata ball
  • additional olive oil for drizzling
  • additional Parmesan cheese or Parmesan shavings for garnish
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • fresh basil garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions (al dente works best). Drain when ready, and set aside.

  • Add drained pasta to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes over low heat until the sauce is slightly absorbed by the pasta.

  • Remove burrata cheese from its container and absorb any excess water with a paper towel.
    1 burrata ball
  • Plate the pasta in a large bowl. Top with burrata immediately. The heat from the pasta will warm and slightly melt the burrata cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese as well as fresh basil. Enjoy!

Notes

  • There is so much flavor in this dish already, but if you want to add a little something extra, cherry tomatoes work well.
  • I also like red pepper flakes for spice, now and then.
