Pasta Pesto with Burrata Recipe

06/03/2024

I rarely praise my mother’s cooking skills (sorry mom), but this recipe is made with my mom’s pesto. Pasta pesto is a staple in many students’ households, but making a homemade pesto is an easy alternative that elevates the dish. If you’re worried you don’t have a fancy blender or food chopper, I have only ever made this dish with a handheld blender (staafmixer).

The easy thing about homemade pesto is that it is quite easy to make and you can add everything you want. This is quite a simple pesto, but feel fry to add beans, nuts or spinach for more nutrients.

Ingredients (for 2 people):
-          30 gr parmesan cheese
-          1 whole basil plant
-           50 ml Olive oil
-           1 glove of garlic
-          250 gr pasta of your choice
-          200 gr Cherry tomatoes
-          One burrata

 Instructions: 
1.   Boil water with a little bit of salt
2.   Blend all the leaves from the basil plant, the oil, the garlic, and the parmesan cheese together until there is a smooth texture
3.   Chop your tomatoes in half
4.   Mix the pasta and pesto together with the pesto
5.   Cut the burrata in half and divide over the two plates
