Recipes:
12 oz mezzi paccheri pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 2 tablespoons warm water
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh burrata cheese, torn into pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the mezzi paccheri according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a
small cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic
and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Stir in the heavy cream, saffron (with its soaking water), and grated Parmesan cheese. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce
thickens slightly.
Toss the cooked pasta into the saffron cream sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water to achieve a smooth consistency.
Remove from heat and fold in the torn burrata cheese. Stir gently until the cheese starts to melt and create a creamy texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
