Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they have burst and created a saucy consistency. The edges should be slightly caramelized.

While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta water.

Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the baking dish with the roasted tomatoes. Toss everything together, using tongs, until the pasta is well coated in the tomato sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.

Divide the pasta among four serving bowls. Tear or cut the burrata cheese into pieces and place them on top of each serving. The warmth of the pasta will gently melt the burrata, creating a creamy texture.
