This pasta looks and tastes like summer to me. It’s so simple yet elegant. The creamy burrata on top of the warm pasta makes the most luscious sauce. I can’t get enough of this!!
I envision myself sitting on the Amalfi coast slurping up pasta like this. Since I can’t go to the Amalfi coast any time soon, I thought why not bring it to me. A little backstory… we were supposed to go to Italy for our 5 year anniversary last year but I got pregnant with Riaan so we couldn’t go. We planned on going this year for our 6 years, but covid ruined all of our lives. So here I am wishing I was eating this on the Amalfi coast while being kissed by the italian sun. We will hopefully be able to go very soon!!
Yesterday I posted garlicky roasted cherry tomatoes, today I’m sharing how to put them to good use. I hope you all enjoy this really easy summer dinner meal. Tag me @zheelicious and let me know how you liked it!
Stay happy, stay hungry!

Directions:

Notes:
- I got my burrata from Trader Joe’s.
- I also got my pappardelle from Trader Joe’s.
- You can use any pasta you have on hand.
- Make sure to not overcook the pasta.
- The creamy inside of the burrata makes a luscious sauce.
- You can add more veggies to this if you like.
- If you can’t find burrata use fresh mozzarella cheese.
