Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sauce and cook the pasta separately. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. When ready to serve, reheat the sauce gently, toss with freshly heated pasta, and top with burrata and basil.

Can I use a different type of protein?

Absolutely. Ground turkey or diced chicken breast are great alternatives if you prefer something leaner.

What pasta shapes work best with this sauce?

Short pasta shapes like shells, penne, or rigatoni hold the sauce well and are ideal for this recipe.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or cream if the sauce has thickened.

Can I freeze this pasta dish?

It is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the sauce without the pasta for up to a month. Add fresh pasta and burrata when ready to serve.
