gruyere cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallot and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

2

Stir in the lemon zest and red pepper flakes, cook another minute.

3

Slowly add 4 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, the pasta, and kale. Increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4

Stir frequently until the pasta is al dente, about 10-12 minutes.

5

Stir in the coconut milk, pesto, artichokes, and beans. Season, to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Cook until warmed throughout and the pasta is creamy.

7

Remove from the heat, stir the basil and dill.

8

Divide the pasta between plates and break the burrata over each serving of pasta.

9

Top with pine nuts, additional herbs, lemon juice, and pepper.
