Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return pasta to the same pot you cooked it in.
While the pasta is cooking, add the arugula and the almonds to the food processor. Pulse until both are finely chopped. Add the parmesan, lemon, salt and pepper, and hot sauce, if using. Blitz again until everything is combined. Add the oil, and mix until combined.
Add the pesto and the pasta water to the pot you cooked the pasta in. Mix the pasta water and pesto until smooth. Keep mixing until the pasta is coated.
Place pasta in a serving bowl, then add the burrata in the center. Either let guests cut the burrata up on their own, or precut and mix it into the rest of the sauce.
Enjoy!
