Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz carbe diem rotini
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped basil
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup roasted unsalted pistachios
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta by boiling it according to the package directions, then drain and cool.
  2. Prepare the lemon vinaigrette by combining all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl or jar and whisking or shaking to mix; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. To make the pesto, blend the pistachios in a food processor until finely ground. Add remaining ingredients and blend until a smooth paste is made, adjusting with more olive oil or water as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled pasta and fresh herbs. Drizzle half of the vinaigrette over the top and toss to coat. Break the burrata balls over the pasta, drizzle with more dressing, and dollop with the pistachio pesto. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For a creamier texture, let the burrata sit at room temperature before serving.
Adjust the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference in the vinaigrette.
Feel free to add any seasonal vegetables for an extra crunch.
