It was good, but I wish the sauce had a bit more body. I think it needs to simmer longer to thicken up. Overall, a decent meal.

Rachel Lewis4

This is a great recipe! The burrata elevates the pasta dish to another level. Simple yet elegant. Very enjoyable.

Liam Martin3

It was okay. The flavors were nice, but it didn't really wow me. I might try a different brand of tomatoes next time to see if that improves the taste.

Jack White5

One of the best pasta dishes I've ever made. The creaminess of the sauce combined with the burrata is heavenly. Simple ingredients, amazing results.

Carol Davis3

It was good, but not quite as amazing as I expected. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. I might try adding a bit of red pepper flakes for some heat next time.
