1. Place 10 nuggets of pesto sauce into a microwave-safe container and heat for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.<\/p>\n
2. In a wok, saut\u00e9 the frozen fava beans with a drizzle of olive oil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes; the beans should remain bright green and crunchy.<\/p>\n
3. Season with sea salt and keep warm.<\/p>\n
4. Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water until very al dente. Drain and immediately toss them into the wok with the fava beans.<\/p>\n
5. Turn on the heat under the wok, add the pesto, and mix thoroughly.<\/p>\n
To finish:<\/b>
\nServe immediately by arranging the linguine in a nest-like shape on the plates. Spread the fava beans and pine nuts over and around the nest. Place 1 mini-burrata or half of a regular burrata in the center and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n
