« SCROLL PHOTOS LEFT TO RIGHT »

This week's new recipe is a rich tomato and balsamic spaghetti with fresh basil and burrata. This dish is super quick and easy to put together as you can see in the step-by-step video featured above.

For this recipe, I've partnered with Pomi and used their delicious organic strained tomatoes and tomato concentrate paste to give the sauce a rich and sweet tomato flavour. I've topped the pasta with burrata but you could also use buffalo mozzarella or a cheese of your choice. I've also used coconut sugar but feel free to use any sweetener of your choice.

Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you have any questions. I LOVE hearing your feedback and seeing the photos you all send me of your beautiful creations - @gatherandfeast #gatherandfeast
