Servings: 3

Ingredients

• 3 portions black rice ramen noodles (per package instructions)

• 3 burrata balls (1 per person)

• 3 cups cherry tomatoes (1 cup per person)

• 6–9 garlic cloves, minced (2–3 per person)

• 1–2 tsp truffle dust (or to taste)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the noodles

   • Boil black noodles according to package directions.

   • Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set noodles aside.

2. Prepare the tomato base

   • Heat oil in a large skillet over low-medium heat.

   • Add cherry tomatoes and sauté until they blister and begin to burst (5–7 minutes).

   • Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Season the sauce

   • Add chili flakes and truffle dust, stirring to combine.

   • Season with salt and pepper.

4. Bring it together

   • Toss cooked noodles into the skillet with the tomato mixture.

   • Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce reaches a silky consistency that coats the noodles.

5. Plate & finish

   • Divide noodles among plates.

   • Top each portion with a whole burrata ball.

   • Garnish with fresh basil.

   • Serve immediately, letting guests cut into the creamy burrata so it melts into the noodles.
