Pasta is often on the table in our house at dinner time. And this is probably my most favorite way to present it. Burrata cheese may as well be cheese sauce. Break open a ball of burrata and find indulgent, cream and cheese just ready to make your pasta all fancy and sure to impress. I almost called this Burrata Pasta “Broccoli and Bowties”. But, I wanted to give the option to serve it simply with just the pasta, cheese and a few simple seasonings. This dinner screams summer simplicity.

What is Burrata?

Burrata translated from Italian literally means buttery. I’m not sure we can be friends if you don’t enjoy buttery cheese! There’s a ton of information about burrata in this article, including a fantastic video showing the process of making it. Burrata is actually a shell of fresh mozzarella cheese that is filled with cream and cheese curds. Pulling it apart with your hands, dipping some fresh Italian bread into it, should be experienced at least once. And it’s that creamy, buttery filling that makes burrata the perfect cheese for saucing your pasta.

How to make Burrata Pasta

Boil some salted water and cook the farfalle pasta (bowties) according to package directions. Drain it and stir in a little butter and olive oil. To serve the pasta, place it into bowls. Drizzle each bowl with a little more olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add freshly cracked black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (optional). Top the pasta with a generous amount of burrata cheese. Add some fresh basil leaves and you’re good to go. Or keep going and add some air fryer broccoli florets and grated Parmesan cheese.

  • The best garlic bread to serve with Burrata Pasta
  • I think Strawberry Tiramisu would be the perfect dessert to go along with this pasta
  • If you don’t own an air fryer, here’s a recipe for roasted broccoli

    This pasta was exactly what I was thinking of when I purchased Burrata cheese for the first time from Murray’s! My fresh Basil isn’t quite mature enough so I used some leaves from my mint plant in its place! Magnificent and simple! Thank you so much. God Bless you.

      Your kind words have made my day. Thank you so much! So glad I could help you use that beautiful burrata from Murray’s. I get my cheese from Murray’s in my local Kroger as well! Thank you for taking the time to come back and give this recipe a 5-star rating, I appreciate it.
