Creamy Pistachio Pesto Pasta with Burrata
Sometimes you don't need much to feel like you're on vacation: creamy pistachio pesto, fresh basil, a hint of lemon – and on top, a burrata that holds it all together. This pasta combines exactly that: few ingredients, full flavor, and a dish that always works.
Batch cooking means making everyday life easier – without sacrificing good food. This pistachio pesto pasta is made precisely for that. The pesto can be prepared in advance, stored in the refrigerator for several days, and used in many ways. This way, a quick portion of pasta can always turn into a delightful meal.
As a teaser from our Batch Cooking E-Book, this recipe shows how uncomplicated batch cooking can be – and that prepped food can taste just as fresh, creamy, and special.
