Spaghetti With Burrata and Garlic-Chile Oil image

Burrata - a cousin of mozzarella with a creamy core - is a splurge, but it does all the heavy lifting in this simple dish, adding a rich finish that renders a basic bowl of whole-wheat noodles sophisticated. A spicy-sweet seasoned oil made by sautéing fennel, garlic and red-pepper flakes in good-quality olive oil over low heat is drizzled over the top, complementing the velvety texture of the cheese and the nuttiness of the noodles.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large head fennel (about 8 ounces), trimmed, cored and thinly sliced
10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise
3/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
8 ounces burrata cheese
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Crack the fennel seeds with the flat side of a large knife or the backside of a heavy skillet. Heat the oil, sliced fennel, garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes in a large skillet over low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic and fennel are softened and the oil is deeply flavored, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return pasta to pot. Reserve a few tablespoons of the seasoned oil and fennel mixture, then add the rest to the pot with the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Divide the pasta and burrata among four shallow bowls. Spoon the remaining seasoned oil and fennel mixture over the top and season with flaky salt and black pepper to taste.

This was an okay dish. The sauce was a little bland, and the burrata was not very flavorful. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the sauce had been made with more flavorful ingredients and if the burrata had been more creamy. Overall, it was a de

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still delicious. I loved the combination of flavors, and the burrata was a nice touch. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chile oil next time.
