Step 1

Get your pasta cooking in a pot of well salted boiling water.

Step 2

When your pasta has about 6 mins left, get the sauce going.

Step 3

Melt the butter over medium heat and when just starting to sizzle, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or so.

Step 4

Add the balsamic glaze and give it a good mix.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes in and let them gently cook for 3 - 4 mins, giving the pan a good toss every now and then. Don't cook any longer than that as you don't want them going really mushy.

Step 6

Add 1/4 cup of pasta water and mix. I like to shove the tomatoes to the edges of the pan so I can give the liquid a really good whisk to emulsify.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta straight in and toss. Check for seasoning, add a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 8

Let it gently bubble away for 1-2 mins over a low heat. Add more pasta water if you need to loosen.

Step 9

Add the basil leaves in right before serving and serve with freshly grated parmesan and some burrata if you feel like it!
