Ingredients

• Spinach
• Olive oil
• Parmesan
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Burrata
• Onion
• Garlic
• Cherry tomatoes
• Rigatoni
• Bacon

Method

1. Cook the rigatoni in salted water until al dente and reserve a little pasta water.
2. Cut the bacon and cook it in a pan until crisp, then set it aside.
3. Blend the spinach with garlic, parmesan, salt, black pepper, and olive oil into a thick pesto.
4. Add burrata to the spinach pesto and mix until it becomes creamy.
5. Add the creamy pesto to the hot rigatoni and toss. Add a little pasta water as needed so the sauce coats the pasta.
6. Serve with cherry tomatoes, crisp bacon, parmesan, and freshly ground black pepper.

✨ Pink tip

Add the pasta water when tossing the pesto with the rigatoni. Its starch helps the spinach pesto, burrata, and parmesan come together into a creamy sauce that clings beautifully to the pasta.
