  • 1 4-ounce ball burrata cheese
  • 8 ounces pasta
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cut off zucchini ends, then cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice into ¼-inch thick half moons.
  • Wipe mushrooms clean of any dirt, and remove stems.
  • Cut caps into ¼-inch thick slices.
  • Peel and thinly slice shallots.
  • Peel and mince garlic clove.
  • Stack basil leaves together, then roll into a tube. Slice thinly into slivers.

Cooking Steps

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add zucchini slices and shallots and sauté until tender and browned at the edges, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add garlic and cook for an additional minute, then remove vegetables from pan.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil, then add mushroom slices and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add zucchini back to pan, and pour in chicken broth.
  • Let simmer for 5 minutes, until liquid reduces slightly.
  • While vegetables are cooking, bring a pot of water to boil and add pasta.
  • Cook to al dente, according to package directions.
  • Drain pasta, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
  • Add cooked pasta to skillet and toss until well-combined.
  • Add pasta water as necessary to coat the pasta.
  • Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Transfer pasta to serving platter, and top with burrata, pulling it apart with your fork.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with basil.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Don’t overcrowd your skillet to avoid steaming. Cooking pasta to al dente is important as it continues to cook when added to the pan.
