The right idea
It is possible to replicate the recipe using any other type of pasta, even wholemeal!- Drain the peas with the help of a slotted spoon and collect them in a beaker, taking care to set aside a spoonful for decoration. Add the milk, burrata cut into small pieces, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and a mixture of aromatic herbs (eg mint and parsley). Blend the mixture until you get a cream. If necessary, add a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water.
- Season the farfalle with the cream obtained and serve immediately with grated parmesan and whole peas.
The vegan alternative
To veganize pasta, it is possible to replace burrata with vegan stracchino, parmesan cheese with grated almond cheese and cow's milk with any other type of vegetable milk.Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
