As you can tell, I don’t make a lot of pasta dishes. I enjoy pasta here and there, but my kids love it the most. When I make it for all of us to eat, I prefer to load it up with lots of spring vegetables and flavor. This dish is called Spring Pasta with Vegetables and Burrata and basically includes all of my favorite flavors from spring. It’s bright green in the bowl and there are slivers of yummy burrata tossed throughout.
The nice thing about a dish like this is that it really is like combining your salad with the pasta. If you are gluten-free you can easily swap the regular pasta for any gluten-free version you like. I always try to work with the freshest vegetables possible because that’s what really makes the flavor truly wonderful. Burrata is easily picked up at our grocery store and then everything I have to make it is ready! Though this appears to be a fairly involved dish it is actually quite easy. In fact, a lot of times I make this I like to start with a mise en place to make sure it goes smoothly.
The burrata tossed into the steaming pasta at the end melts nicely and creates a light, creamy sauce. I like that it’s not too heavy, you really want this to be part of a vegetable forward meal. I pair it with grilled chicken or steak to round it out with protein on the side. If you have company coming over you can certainly double the recipe and make a bigger dish. I should also mention that I find leftovers keep well for lunch the next day.
This is a great dish for spring that’s going to please the whole entire family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
