Spaghetti with Burrata

If you are looking to make a gourmet style pasta dish in 30 minutes or less this is the dish you’ll want to make. Simple ingredients make this spaghetti irresistibly delicious with your family going for seconds and perhaps requesting you to make this dish weekly. This is also a perfect weeknight dinner when we are sometimes time crunched.

Burrata is basically fresh mozzarella stuffed with cream. It is a melt-in-the-mouth kind of cheese which elevates the pasta dish to another level. Adding fresh veggies to the dish increases the nutrition quotient. Burrata can be used to top bruschetta or even spread on breads for breakfast. 

A few months back we were dining in a Italian restaurant in LA and had the most delectable bruschetta. Niki and I are the cheese lovers in the family. The bruschetta inspired me to create the pasta dish. 

Come, let’s dive into the pasta world now…

The famous proverb "you are what you eat” as quoted by the French author Anthelme Brillat-Savarin is very true. Food nourishes you from the inside out. Good health is of utmost importance to me. Vegetarianism and Veganism are gaining immense popularity these days. Natural, organic, healthy and homemade is my mantra.
