| This recipe was inspired by a photo I saw in La Cucina Italiana magazine, and although my version is much more simplified than the original, using store-bought ingredients, I can assure you nothing lacked in the flavor department, in fact it was so dreamy it got rave reviews, but then how could it not with creamy burrata adorning it! |
 |
| Being able to purchase fresh lasagna sheets and good quality pesto is key to the simplicity and taste, a quick 2 minute boil for the pasta then cooled down in ice water and patted dry. |
 |
| The ingredients consist of fresh pasta sheets that are scattered with roasted tomatoes along with their lovely juice, dollops of store-bought basil pesto (not pictured here), grated parmesan another drizzle of olive oil and of course the main character, burrata cheese! |

You can do 2 or 3 layers at a time, what ever you so desire, you'll be assembling them on parchment paper that has been brushed with olive oil on a baking sheet, and because everything is precooked all you have to do is heat then up in a 450 oven until the burrata has melted and the edges are golden. Garnish with chopped basil and serve immediately!
This is fantastic for a dinner party just add a fresh green salad along with some crusty bread!
Here's a link to the original recipe inspiration if you want to make your own pesto and farro based pasta sheets.
Buon Appetito! |
