Steps
- Add all of the pesto ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Taste the pesto and add salt if needed, then decant the pesto into a clean jar.
- Bring a medium pan of water to a boil, add the pasta and reduce heat, cooking for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions.
- When cooked, drain the pasta, reserving a little pasta water.
- Add 3 generous tablespoons of pesto to the pan, followed by 1 tbsp of the reserved pasta water, and mix to combine.
- Once the sauce is hot, add the cream little by little, checking and tasting until it reaches your desired creaminess.
- Tip the pasta into the sauce and warm together.
- Divide the pasta between two bowls.
- Top each bowl with half a ball of burrata if desired.
- Garnish with reserved basil leaves and toasted pine nuts, season and drizzle over your best olive oil.
