Ingredients

  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F

  6. Pour the dressing over the pasta and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  7. Top with the remaining burrata, a drizzle of olive oil and a drizzle of honey (spicy or regular). Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.
