This delightful recipe, shared by HelloFresh and Whoogy’s, brings together the creamy textures of burrata with the sweet touch of honey-grilled nectarine, wrapped up in a vibrant, summery pasta dish.
Ingredients
For one serving:
– Casarecce pasta: 180g
– Nectarine: 1 whole
– Cherry tomatoes: 1 pack
– Burrata: 1 whole
– Lemon: ½
– Basil cream: 1 pack
– Salad mix: 1 pack
– Prosciutto crudo: 50g
– Butter: 100g
– Honey: 2 teaspoons
– Balsamic vinegar: 1 teaspoon
– Olive oil: 2 drizzles
Preparation
Total time: 20 minutes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Step 1: Cooking the Pasta
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the casarecce and cook for 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water, then drain again thoroughly.
Step 2: Prep the Ingredients
Slice the nectarine in half, then into 1 cm wedges. Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl, sprinkling them with salt to enhance their flavor – a simple yet effective tip from Whoogy’s to boost their taste. Cut the burrata into 2 cm pieces.
Step 3: Grill and Create
Heat a skillet over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of butter. Grill the nectarine wedges for 2-5 minutes until nicely caramelized, then drizzle generously with honey. Remove from the pan and set aside. Wash the lemon and finely grate its zest.
Finishing Touches
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the basil cream, a pinch of lemon zest, a drizzle of lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the salad mix, cherry tomatoes, and chilled pasta, tossing well to combine.
To serve, arrange the salad in deep plates. Top with chunks of burrata, prosciutto, and the honey-grilled nectarine. Season with a final sprinkle of salt and pepper. Enjoy your meal filled with the flavors of summer!
