Tonnarelli with burrata and anchovies, here is a main course that everyone loves, simple and very quick. You have surely noticed that I use the microwave a lot, especially with the Crisp cooking method. Since I discovered and used it for the first time, I haven’t gone without it. When I come home late, I immediately put on the pot with water for the pasta and in the meantime, I cut the cherry tomatoes and cook them in the microwave. A great help in the kitchen.
