Balsamic Strawberry Basil Pasta with Burrata

This Balsamic Strawberry Basil Pasta is the ultimate warm-weather comfort dish. Juicy strawberries and sweet-savory Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar create a vibrant contrast against al dente pasta and creamy burrata. Basil Infused Olive Oil ties it all together, making this vegetarian meal an elegant and unexpected centerpiece for spring entertaining.

📝 Ingredients:

• 8 oz short pasta (like fusilli, cavatappi, or farfalle)

• 1 tbsp Basil Infused Olive Oil (plus more for drizzling)

• 2 shallots, thinly sliced

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

• 2 tbsp Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (plus more for garnish)

• 1 ball burrata cheese (or 2 if serving family-style)

• Optional: crushed pistachios or microgreens for garnish

🔥 Instructions:

1. Cook pasta: Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, heat Basil Olive Oil over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, then add garlic and stir for 1 minute.

3. Add strawberries & balsamic: Add sliced strawberries and Strawberry Balsamic. Cook gently until strawberries soften and the mixture becomes syrupy.

4. Toss pasta: Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped basil.

5. Plate & finish: Serve warm with torn burrata on top. Drizzle with additional Basil Olive Oil and a touch of Strawberry Balsamic. Garnish with more basil and optional crushed pistachios or microgreens.

💡 Tips:

• Make it gluten-free with your favorite GF pasta.

• For added richness, stir in a spoonful of mascarpone before plating.
