Spaghetti with ’Nduja & Burrata – The Fiery Creamy Pasta You’ll Crave Weekly
If you love bold Italian flavours and quick midweek meals, this Spaghetti with ’Nduja and Burrata might just become your new go-to. Combining the spicy, smoky heat of Calabrian ’nduja with the cool, creamy luxury of fresh burrata, this dish is ready in under 20 minutes and delivers restaurant-quality satisfaction at home.
Whether you're a long-time fan of southern Italian cuisine or just discovering the magic of ’nduja, this pasta recipe is a fiery, silky bowl of joy.
Why This Recipe Works
It’s simple: the spicy spreadable salami melts into a glossy sauce, coating every strand of spaghetti with depth and warmth. The burrata? It’s the finishing touch – rich, milky, and utterly indulgent. Together, they strike the perfect balance between heat and creaminess.
This is Italian comfort food at its finest – fast, flavourful, and made with just a handful of artisan ingredients.
What You’ll Need
- Spaghetti – bronze-cut if you want the sauce to cling beautifully
- ’Nduja – we recommend a Calabrian jar for the most authentic kick
- Garlic – finely sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil – for flavour and gloss
- Tinned cherry tomatoes – sweet and juicy with no prep
- Fresh burrata – the creamy centrepiece
- Optional: basil, lemon zest, or chilli flakes for a finishing touch

Recipe: Spaghetti with ’Nduja & Burrata (Serves 2)
Ingredients:
- 180g spaghetti
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1.5 tbsp ’nduja
- 1 x 400g tin of cherry tomatoes
- Salt to taste
- 1 fresh burrata ball
- Fresh basil (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
- Make the sauce: Heat olive oil in a large pan, add the garlic and cook gently for 1 minute. Stir in the ’nduja until it melts into the oil. Pour in the tinned cherry tomatoes and gently crush them with a spoon. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened. Add pasta water to loosen if needed.
- Toss the spaghetti in the sauce until coated. Let it absorb the flavours for a minute.
- Plate up: Divide the pasta into bowls. Tear open the burrata and place half on top of each portion.
- Finish with flair: Drizzle with olive oil, scatter some fresh basil or lemon zest if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips & Serving Ideas
- Add sautéed spinach or roasted courgettes for a veg boost
- Serve with a side of toasted sourdough or focaccia to mop up the sauce
- Pair with a light Italian red like Nero d’Avola or a crisp rosé
- Hosting? Serve this as a starter-size primo followed by grilled meat or a fresh salad
