Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to cook the broccolini until tender but still vibrant green for the best texture and flavor.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the broccolini before serving.
  • If you can't find broccolini, you can substitute with regular broccoli or even asparagus.
  • To make this dish vegan, you can omit the butter and use a vegan cheese alternative instead of the pecorino romano.
  • Serve this dish as a main course with crusty bread or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.

Storage and Serving

  • This dish is best served immediately while the broccolini is still warm and the burrata is creamy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, gently warm the leftovers in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Garnish with freshly grated pecorino romano and black pepper before serving.
