Lemon Zucchini Burrata Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Louise
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz. spaghetti or your favorite pasta
– 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
– 1 lemon, zested and juiced
– 1 cup burrata cheese
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

Creating Lemon Zucchini Burrata Pasta is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
2. Sauté the Zucchini: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until just tender.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with zucchini. Pour in the lemon juice and zest, and toss everything together to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Add Burrata: Remove the skillet from heat and gently mix in the burrata cheese. It should start to melt into the pasta, creating a creamy sauce.
5. Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
6. Enjoy: Serve immediately, allowing each guest to further adjust seasoning if they like, adding more lemon or cheese to taste.

With these straightforward instructions, you’ll have a delightful dish ready in no time!
