This super easy pasta is absolutely bursting with flavor. And who doesn’t love a bright, delicious, homemade pasta dish on a beautiful spring day? The secret ingredient is my scratch-made Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto that you’ll use as a topping. Yep, you’re making pesto, too! Sun-dried tomatoes coupled with fresh basil… Well, that’s a flavor profile that blends greatly with any cooked pasta of your choice.

The other secret ingredient in this easy pasta recipe is burrata. I top the finished pasta with burrata cheese. Never had burrata? It’s a soft, fresh mozzarella with a creamy center. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Depending on what type of burrata you purchase, you may have several smaller balls or one large ball. The small cheese balls can simply be placed on top of your plated pasta. You may prefer to cut the larger ball into pieces, but make sure not to lose any of the creamy filling! I recommend serving this dish at room temperature—that makes it a burrata pasta salad recipe, not just pasta. However, you can also serve it as soon as it’s ready if you like. It’s delicious both ways!
