Method
Step 1
Cut the red and yellow cherry tomatoes in half (or slices, depending on size) and place on a baking tray. Season generously with salt, EVO Oil and basil. Bake in a very hot oven for a few minutes—just enough so they’re warm, juicy and still firm. Keep the tomatoes warm and set aside the seasoned oil.
Step 2
Cook the Gran Ruote al dente. When ready, season with the reserved tomato oil, a little grated Parmigiano Reggiano and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 3
On a plate, arrange the warm tomatoes, alternating the colors. Add the wheels on top.
Step 4
For an extra touch, you can add burrata and drizzle with more of the tomato oil. Finish the plating with basil chiffonade or fresh basil leaves.
