A super easy and fast dinner, with a juicy tomato pan sauce and creamy burrata on top.
1- In a 12 inch cast iron skillet (or something similarly sized,) add the olive oil and heat on medium-high.
2- Add the shallots and garlic and cook for a couple minutes, or until soft.
3- Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring and breaking them up a bit with a wooden spoon.
4- Add salt and pepper, and a heavy pinch of the red pepper flakes (add more at the end if you want it spicier.)
5- Stir in the wine and broth, and then add the pasta and the handful of torn basil. Do your best to submerge the pasta in the liquid, gently pushing the ends down until everything is covered.
6- Reduce heat to low and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your liking. Use tongs to gently toss the pasta in the sauce for the last minute or two of cooking.
7- Add more salt and pepper as needed, add the burrata on top, a drizzle of balsamic, and some more fresh basil. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
