This Creamy Pesto Burrata Pasta is a rich and indulgent twist on a classic. Garlic is gently sautéed in butter and olive oil, then combined with vibrant pesto and heavy cream to create a luscious sauce. A touch of seasoning and grated Parmesan brings it all together, and just before serving, it's topped with creamy burrata for a luxurious finish. It’s bold, herby, and incredibly satisfying—perfect for pesto lovers.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pesto Pasta Water Magic 💦
    Always reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining; the starchy liquid helps emulsify the sauce and creates a silkier, more cohesive coating for your pasta.
  • Burrata Placement Perfection 🧀
    Add room temperature burrata balls just before serving, allowing the residual heat to gently warm the cheese without fully melting its creamy interior.
  • Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄
    Gently sauté garlic in butter and olive oil on low heat to prevent burning, which releases a sweeter, more mellow flavor profile into the sauce.
  • Seasoning Layer Strategy 🌈
    Build depth of flavor by layering seasonings - start with garlic powder and onion powder during cooking, then finish with fresh cracked black pepper and grated Parmesan.
  • Pesto Consistency Control 🥣
    If your sauce feels too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water to achieve the perfect creamy consistency without diluting the pesto's robust flavor.
