Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broccolini

    While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccolini and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until it is tender but still vibrant green. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the broccolini, add the drained rigatoni and pesto sauce. Toss everything together, adding some reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Divide the pasta into bowls, top with pieces of burrata cheese, and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
