Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 12 oz linguine pasta
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a blender, combine basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth to make a pesto.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the pesto over medium heat, then stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
  5. Serve the pasta in bowls, topping each with a piece of burrata and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts.
