Notes
Note on tomatoes: you can halve the cherry tomatoes if you'd prefer them to be smaller.
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Bucatini Pasta. Honestly, any type of pasta works great in this recipe. From spaghetti to penne to everything in between. I love bucatini because it's thick and hearty.
- Cherry tomatoes. you can use red, yellow or orange cherry tomatoes - or a mixture of all three.
- Onion. red or yellow onion are both great choices.
- Balsamic vinegar. If you've been around JFS for a while you know I'm about to give my, "use high quality balsamic vinegar speech." Really great balsamic is thick and sweet and pours more like molasses than water.
- Fresh basil. no substitutes here.
- Burrata cheese. I'm assuming since you're here, you want to use burrata. However fresh mozzarella works well too.
