To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Cook for a short amount of time, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or simply with butter and herbs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, fresh pasta cooks much faster due to its higher moisture content. The delicate filling of burrata, roasted tomato, and basil distinguishes it from simpler filled pastas like ravioli or tortellini, offering a creamier and more complex taste.
