Pea Pesto Pasta with Burrata
Spring is here, and this bright Pea Pesto Pasta is on the menu. It uses one of my favorites, a nut-free Pea Pesto, to create a saucy base for a thin spaghetti. You can, of course, use whatever pasta you prefer. The magic continues with rich, creamy burrata and a drizzle of olive oil to finish the dish. This easy weeknight dinner can be ready in well under 30 minutes if you have a batch of the Pea Pesto prepared in advance.
