Pasta with kale pesto – A recipe for the most delicious creamy pasta dish with kale pesto, crispy breadcrumbs, and burrata. This pasta dish is one of my favorites when it comes to pasta dishes.
Where can I buy burrata?
Burrata has become really popular in recent years, so it’s actually quite easy to get your hands on it now. I buy it in Bilka and Netto, but you can also buy this delicious cheese at e.g. Supermarco in Copenhagen or LaTreccia,. Galbani has also started selling it.
