So delicious and fresh. Burrata is just such a great ingredient to use and as you can see I do like to use it in many different ways. This was delicious and worked really well especially on a cool rainy day, having a warm pasta behind a fresh burrata really worked. Enjoy!
Ingredients
2 cups large spiral pasta
2 cups broccolini, cut into thirds
1 cup asparagus, cut into thirds
70g butter
juice of half a lemon
salt and black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. You will now work in batches. Do not strain the water off! Before starting to cook the veggies prepare a large bowl with water and ice on the side.
First we start by boiling the brocollini for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in the ice bath. Now boil the asparagus for 1-2 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon and place in the ice bath with the brocollini. In the same water, boil you pasta as per packet instructions. My pasta needed 10 minutes which is perfect for starting to work on the burnt butter.
While the pasta is boiling heat the butter in a large pan and allow the butter to start to brown. Once it has reached your desired brown tint turn off the heat and add the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Drain the broccolini and asparagus.
Once the pasta has cooked drain and add to the pan with the burnt butter. Turn the heat back on, add the veggies and allow to cook in the butter for a couple of minutes until warm and the burnt butter is well incorporated throughout all your ingredients. Serve with the fresh burrata and some black pepper. Enjoy
