Calamarata con pesto y burrata

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce, tossing until the pasta is well coated.

Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and gently fold it into the pasta mixture.

Serve the pasta warm, garnished with cherry tomatoes if desired.

Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
