On today's menu is this cold pasta salad with seasoned tomatoes, burrata cheese
and a zesty almond gremolata topping to finish. It's a great cold pasta recipe that will be sure
to impress the guests, so let's get into it. Get a pot of boiling water on and season with a few
pinches of kosher salt. I like using fusilli pasta for this recipe since it really traps all the sauce
in the nooks and crannies very well. Cook until al dente, then strain and rinse under cold water
to stop the cooking process. Season the pasta with salt, oregano, garlic powder
and I'm adding in some fresh English pea puree that I had from the other day to
amp up the freshness and color. But a simple pesto or chopped herbs will do
trick as well. Add in some lemon juice and grated parmesan and give this a good mix
For the gremolata you're going to thinly slice up some toasted almonds and add them to a mixing bowl
along with curled or thinly sliced lemon zest. Fresh picked parsley and season that with olive oil
salt and cracked black pepper For this recipe I using Campari tomatoes for their sweet flavor which I be quartering
and seasoning with salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil. Personally, I like to blot off any moisture from the fresh burrata so it doesn't bleed
into the salad. But once that's done, it's time to plate. Get a large, wide serving bowl and place a good bed of pasta on the bottom
Then add in the dressed tomatoes around the pasta, leaving space for the plump burrata cheese right in the center
Place the gremolata around the cheese like a crown of glory, cracked black pepper on top, and dress with olive oil and a good finishing balsamic
This recipe really hits it out of the park during tomato season, but even if we're a little ahead of schedule, find yourself some fancy campari tomatoes and have at it
This recipe works great for lunch, but really is a nice starter for dinner when you want to add some flair
