In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water, mixing well to combine. Add torn basil leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.

Plate the pasta and top with pieces of burrata cheese. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil if desired.
