Instructions

Creating Burrata Pasta Shells with Roasted Garlic & Lemon Cream is a joyful experience. Follow these steps to bring this delightful dish to life:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30 minutes or until soft.
  3. Cook the Pasta: While the garlic is roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Prepare the Filling: Once the garlic is roasted and cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Mix with the burrata cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Stuff the Shells: Carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with the burrata filling, placing them in a single layer in a baking dish.
  6. Make the Lemon Cream: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  7. Pour the Sauce: Pour the lemon cream sauce over the stuffed pasta shells evenly.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and offer grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

By following these simple steps, you'll create an impressive dish that not only tastes great but looks wonderful too!
