Burrata With Speck English Peas And Parmigiano Reggiano Recipes

BURRATA FLATBREAD WITH GARLICKY GREENS, PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil.
• Put the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin shape the dough into a very thin, 12-inch round. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
• Coat the top of the dough with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano over the dough and bake until the flatbread is golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring and tossing continuously, until it starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Zest the lemon using a rasp grater and set aside.
• Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of the lemon over the kale. Transfer the lemony kale to a bowl and set aside.
• Add 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. If using fresh peas, cook until tender, about 1 minute. If using frozen peas, stir them in, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the cooked peas, the remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 tablespoons pea-cooking water, the reserved lemon zest and the juice of the remaining 1/2 of the lemon in a mini food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as necessary, until evenly processed and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• To assemble, spread the pea puree over the flatbread, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with the garlicky kale. Cut the burrata into six pieces and add to the flatbread. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cooked peas, fresh herbs and prosciutto. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Enjoy.

PASTA ALLA CHITARRA WITH BURRATA-SPECK-PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Fry the shallot for 2 minutes, then add the speck and fry for 2 minutes more. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the peas, labneh, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mint, and 1 cup of the pasta water. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and toss immediately with pasta and half of the sugar snap peas.
• One minute before serving, pour the remaining 1/2 cup hot pasta water over the burrata balls. Plate the pasta and top with the remaining sugar snap peas. Gently remove the burrata from the hot water and tear each ball in half using your hands. Place half a burrata on top of each serving of pasta along with the pea sprouts (if using). Top with the Parmigiano, if desired.

BURRATA RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE, PARMIGIANO AND BASIL

Steps:

• Cut the pasta sheets into 3-by-3-inch squares. Brush one side of a pasta square with a small amount of egg, then place a piece of burrata in the center and top with a basil leaf. Season with salt and pepper, then top with one more pasta square to make a ravioli. Repeat to form a total of 16 ravioli for 3 portions. Allow the ravioli to set for 30 minutes in the fridge.
• In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer in a separate saucepan.
• Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add the olive oil to the tomato sauce and stir together. Add the ravioli to the pan with the sauce and cook for 1 more minute, adding the butter at the same time. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the ravioli among 3 plates and garnish with extra basil and the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
