Pea Pesto Pasta with Burrata
We adore pesto pasta. It’s the simplest (and quickest) way to combine a luscious, creamy pesto with your favorite pasta. And, I love how easy it is to hide veggies in pesto, so without even knowing, we can eat so many nutritious ingredients. We combine all the ingredients in a blender for this simple pea pesto, then toss it with our favorite al dente-cooked pasta. Serve with homemade tomato salsa (grated tomato with olive oil and chili sauce) and fresh burrata cheese. It’s such a light, tasty, and effortless meatless meal.

Storing and freezing

Keep the Pea Pesto Pasta with Burrata in a fridge for up to 2 days. However, we recommend storing the Pea Pesto Pasta separately from the tomato salsa and burrata cheese. The Pesto Pasta is served warm, while the tomato salsa and burrata can be served straight from the fridge, cold.

Feel free to separately store the pesto. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Or, freeze it. Place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Place in the freezer for up to a month.
