Super creamy pasta with stracciatella and pistachios first course — a fantastic dish, a great classic that never disappoints! For this recipe I was inspired by linguine with burrata cream and pistachios. The recipe is really simple and quick, ready in less than 20 minutes, a gourmet plate perfect if you have guests for lunch and little time.

How to make pasta with burrata and pistachios
Start by cooking the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package.
Meanwhile, cut the guanciale into cubes, then brown it in a non-stick pan without adding any fat.
In a blender put the stracciatella and the pistachios and blend everything with an immersion blender. If necessary, add some of the pasta cooking water to make it creamier.
At this point, in the same pan where you cooked the guanciale, add the cooked pasta and the prepared cream. Toss everything over high heat for a few seconds. Plate and serve with pistachio crumbs.
Storage and variations Pasta with stracciatella and pistachios
You can replace the guanciale with mortadella or pancetta. To give a fresh touch you can add a citrus note: add the zest of one lemon grated at the end of cooking.
