Paccheri with Burrata & Basil Oil
// Introduction
This is the dish you make when you want to impress someone without spending the whole evening in the kitchen. Burrata is already perfect — your job is simply not to ruin it. The basil oil brings a vivid green freshness that cuts through the richness, and the lemon zest ties everything together with a brightness that makes the whole bowl sing.
