Spaghetti
Pesto

A classic pesto, only with the very young herbs of spring - and, to top it all off, the wonderful creaminess of burrata!

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
100 g Spring herbs, fresh, preferably collected by yourself (such as wild chervil, young nettle, ribwort plantain or dandelion)
1 Garlic clove, peeled (or, if still available, 2 wild garlic leaves)
1 Large handful of pistachios, shelled and roasted
80 ml Olive oil (+ a little more for garnish)
25 g Parmesan, grated
25 g Pecorino, grated
40 g Butter, melted
500 g Spaghetti
2 balls Burrata
Salt
  • Wash the herbs well and spin dry. In a mortar, grind together with the garlic, most of the pistachios, olive oil and a good pinch of salt to make a pesto or puree in a food processor. When a coarse paste has formed, stir in the grated cheese and butter.
  • Cook the pasta in salted water until very al dente according to the packet instructions. Drain and keep a little of the cooking water. Mix the pasta in the pot with the pesto and bring to the desired consistency with the cooking water.
  • Arrange on the plates and garnish each with ½ burrata, the rest of the pistachios and a little olive oil.
