Pappardelle with Zucchini and Burrata

Meals· Recipes

Jump to Recipe

This pasta is the perfect summer weeknight meal, and is super easy to prepare.

Pappardelle with Zucchini and Burrata

Start with some zucchini – either one large or two small. I prefer one small green, and one small yellow squash. Sauté with some garlic in some olive oil with some red pepper flakes which add so much flavor – add more if you like it with a bit of spice!

The sauce is simply just olive oil, parmesan, and some pasta water – not too heavy and still full of flavor. And then the piece de resistance: the burrata! Trader Joe’s burrata is perfect for this recipe. I add it to the top of the warm pasta straight from the fridge, but you can also heat the burrata up in some warm water if desired.

Top with a little drizzle of good olive oil and some flaky sea salt, such as Maldon. And serve!

This recipe is about four servings, but can easily serve two hungry people.
