Here’s how to create Burrata Pasta Shells with Roasted Garlic & Lemon Cream in just a few straightforward steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the garlic.
- Prepare Garlic: Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast for 25 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
- Cook Pasta: While the garlic roasts, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the pan, discarding the skins. Stir until well mashed.
- Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and juice. Stir gently, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill Shells: Stuff each pasta shell with burrata cheese, making sure to fill them generously.
- Combine: Add the stuffed shells to the sauce, spooning some over the top. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Plate: Carefully transfer the pasta shells to serving plates.
- Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the incredible blend of flavors.
