Ingredients

  • 10 oz (280 g) dried spaghetti or linguine
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (140 g) edamame beans
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 5 green onions (spring onions)
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) pecorino or parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1.5 cups (225 g) cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 handful basil, chopped
  • 1 ball burrata cheese, usually 100-150g drained weight

Instructions 

  • Set the pasta cooking according to package instructions.
    10 oz dried spaghetti or linguine
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saute pan over a low heat. Add in the edamame beans, green onions and garlic. Saute for a minute or two, just until the onion and garlic have softened a little.
    1/3 cup olive oil, 1 cup edamame beans, 5 green onions (spring onions), 4 cloves garlic
  • Add in the lemon zest and juice, remove from the heat, and set aside until the pasta is ready.
    1 lemon
  • Once cooked, drain the pasta and reserve a cup full of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan alongside the pecorino cheese and a splash of the cooking water. Over a low heat, toss vigorously until the cheese has melted through and a very light sauce is coating the pasta.
    1/3 cup pecorino or parmesan cheese
  • Add the cherry tomatoes and basil and toss through until just mixed in. We aren't trying to cook or break down the cherry tomatoes - we want them to just slightly warm up but stay juicy!
    1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, 1 handful basil
  • Serve the pasta into bowls. Divide the burrata cheese evenly between the portions and add to the top of each bowl. Serve immediately.
