20 minutes of prep for a gourmet and flavorful dinner
We don’t always have time to cook for hours, but that doesn’t mean we should eat anything at all. It is perfectly possible to treat yourself in no time with simple and affordable ingredients! The proof is in our recipe of the day: small creamy pasta with cherry tomatoes and burrata. Of course, you can replace burrata with parmesan if you prefer; it’s just a topping for extra indulgence.
This vegetarian dish is ideal for a family dinner, for hosting friends or to charm your date!
We chose ditalini, these small pastas for their comforting feel, but you can choose your favorite pasta to mix with this incredibly tasty sauce. The secret to a perfect sauce is to add a little of the pasta cooking water to bind all the ingredients and obtain a creamy, glossy coating. So, are you salivating? We already know what we’re going to have for dinner tonight!
