Instructions

Step 1

Warm oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add zucchini, eschalots, marjoram and pinch of sea salt. Cook for 10-12 mins, or until zucchini has softened and starts to caramelise. Keep warm.

Step 2

Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until just before al dente.

Step 3

Return sauce to medium-high heat and scoop pasta directly into pan from the water, using a sieve or large slotted spoon. Use a ladle or cup to add a little pasta water from the pot to the sauce and continue cooking until pasta is al dente. Add more water as needed.

Step 4

Transfer pasta to a serving bowl and add burrata. Break it open and stir through the hot pasta to coat. Top with more extra-virgin oil, marjoram leaves, plenty of grated Parmigiano Reggiano and pinch of dried chilli flakes.
