Ingredients
- 350 g penne pasta
- 2 burrata cheese 125 g each, balls
- 80 g rocket leaves
- 250 g cherry tomato cut into quarters
- 6 basil leaves
- salt sea salt
Basil oil:
- 15 g basil roughly 30 leaves, leaves
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic chopped, clove
- 1 teaspoon water cold
- sea salt a pinch
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, until al dente, about 2-3 minutes shy of the time on the package instructions.
- Transfer the pasta to a strainer and place it very quickly under cool running water for a couple of seconds. Drain the pasta, and let it cool slightly, before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
- Place the pasta in a large serving bowl. Add in the tomatoes, followed by the rocket leaves and basil leaves. Mix all the ingredients.
- Finally, top the pasta with burrata cheese. You can leave it whole or cut it open and give all the ingredients a quick mix. Drizzle the basil oil on top and serve.
Cup of Yum
For the basil oil:
- Place the basil leaves, garlic, a generous pinch of sea salt, and a tiny bit of water in a blender or food processor.
- Pulse for 30 seconds, slowly incorporating the olive oil into the jug/bowl, until all the ingredients are combined.
Notes
- Storage tips
- Place the pasta salad (without the burrata) in an air-tight container and store in the fridge up to 3 days. Add the burrata cheese just before serving.
