Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Tomato Burrata Spaghetti:

1. Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy cream to the tomato mixture. Stir well and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Season: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Adjust according to your taste preferences.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the creamy tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

7. Serve with Burrata: Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Tear the burrata into pieces and place it on top of the spaghetti.

8. Garnish: Finish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
