Basil Pesto Pasta with Burrata

This is the pasta you make when you want to impress without the effort. Saucrs! Basil Pesto coats every strand of pasta in rich, herby flavor, and a torn ball of burrata melts into the warm noodles for a sauce that's somehow even better. Cherry tomatoes add a pop of brightness that ties it all together.
