Instructions

Here’s how to create Burrata Pasta Shells with Roasted Garlic & Lemon Cream in just a few straightforward steps:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the garlic.
  2. 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.

  6. Fill Shells: Stuff each pasta shell with burrata cheese, making sure to fill them generously.
  7. Combine: Add the stuffed shells to the sauce, spooning some over the top. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Plate: Carefully transfer the pasta shells to serving plates.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor and presentation.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the incredible blend of flavors.
