Garlic Burrata Pasta with Lemon and Chilli
I’ve heard from a few of my followers that this garlic, lemon and chilli pasta is now their go-to meal at dinner time and some even make it every week without fail. It makes me so unbelievably happy to know that people are cooking and enjoying my food!! What’s even better is that it’s super easy, super garlicky (cause there’s no such thing as too much garlic) and super fast. Also did I mention you cover it all in a big ball of burrata at the end? Perfection!
This recipe was episode 6 of my Gorgeous Gorgeous Garlic series over on Instagram and I’m actually looking to create another series based around garlic as I had so many ideas! But if you start with anything please make confit garlic because this will genuinely change the way you cook and use garlic.
If you struggle to find burrata you can switch it out for mozzarella. Ideally you’ll want mozzarella balls in water as these are the closest swap in terms of texture and taste but nothing quite beats the creaminess of burrata 🤤 Or try both and see what you think!
What other series would you like to see me focus on? What about an onion series? Or maybe something that involves all the cheese?!
Ingredients
- 1 whole bulb of garlic, cloves all sliced
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 3 sprigs of Rosemary, leaves picked and chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
- 50-80g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- A small handful of grated parmesan (or veggie hard cheese)
- 1 ball of burrata, room temp
- Two portions of any pasta shape
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Get a large pan of salted water on the boil and cook your pasta whilst you make the sauce. Use packet instructions based on the pasta you use.
- In a large saucepan/frying pan on a low/medium heat, add the olive oil and butter.
- Once the butter is bubbling, add the garlic and cook on low for 5 minutes until soft. Keep an eye on the garlic so it doesn't burn.
- Then add the rosemary and chilli (save some to sprinkle on once cooked, you wanna make it look all cheffy).
- When the pasta is almost cooked, add the lemon juice and zest to the butter mixture and stir well.
- Add the pasta to the saucepan with a little of the pasta water, then the Parmesan and season well with salt and pepper.
- Once everything is well combined serve up for two and add half of your burrata to each bowl.
- Use any leftover chilli, rosemary and pan butter to drizzle over and then tuck in and enjoy!!
