A 15 Minute Gluten Free Pasta Recipe For Everyone!

I love this creamy tomato pasta with burrata recipe for so many reasons – the main one being how QUICK and easy it is to make!

The simple tomato and cream sauce, flavoured with Italian seasoning and chilli flakes, comes together while the pasta cooks, meaning it’s on the table in 15 minutes.

I only use a handful of everyday, storecupboard ingredients for the silky smooth pasta sauce, which coats the gluten free rigatoni perfectly. Other pasta shapes are optional!

This is a simple gluten free dinner everyone can enjoy and a great one for busy weeknights. Plus you can’t beat a bit of burrata, right!?

Ingredients and Substitutions

There’s a printable recipe card below for this creamy tomato and burrata pasta recipe with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.

  • Gluten Free Pasta: I use gluten free rigatoni pasta for this recipe as I just love the shape! The Rummo one is my fave but I also love the Vitto one which is new.
  • Garlic: I use garlic paste as I always have it to hand, but fresh minced garlic or chopped garlic works just as well.
  • Chilli Flakes: Omit these if you don’t want spice.
  • Tomato Paste
  • Double Cream: Or heavy cream, in the US.
  • Italian Seasoning: Use a mixed Italian seasoning, which is usually a mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and marjoram.
  • Burrata: I use a ball of burrata as you cannot beat it. You could use mozzarella instead or just omit this if you don’t want that side of the dish.

Want To Make This Ahead Of Time?

Gluten free pasta tends to not to reheat too well as it can break up or go mushy – I’d recommend making this and eating it freshly cooked.

However, if you want to save time you could start the sauce, then keep in the fridge and add the pasta water and finish when cooking the pasta fresh.
