PEA & PISTACHIO PESTO PASTA


  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 people 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups pea & pistachio pesto
  • 1 lb/454 g spaghetti, prepared al dente
  • 1 cup reserved pasta water
  • 4 balls of burrata (or 2 cut in half if your burrata is large) *substitute with vegan ricotta if dairy free
  • lemon zest, for garnish
  • salt & pepper, for garnish
  • extra virgin olive oil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. While you prepare the pea & pistachio pesto (recipe here) bring your pasta water to a boil & cook the spaghetti until al dente.
  2. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water & add the cooked spaghetti to a large saucepan along with 2 cups of the prepared pea & pistachio pesto and the 1 cup of reserved pasta water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, continuously stirring until a creamy texture is achieved, this usually takes about 5 minutes.
  4. Portion the pasta between four plates. Top each plate of pasta with a ball of burrata (I like to break the burrata open a bit), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper & lemon zest & serve!
