Description
8 oz pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or your choice)
1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 large burrata cheese ball
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Directions:
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large bowl, toss the hot pasta with the pesto, olive oil, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Transfer the pasta to serving plates and place the burrata on top, gently tearing it open to release the creamy center.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
