Quick Pesto Pasta with Burrata

Author’s Note

Homemade pesto has an unmatched quality and zest to it. If you haven’t tried your hand in making it, I think you should. Once you have made it, you’ll have the passport to an effortless weeknight meal. All you need is a food processor, some greens, some nuts, some cheese and you’ll have dinner in a presto. Toss it with a salad, serve it over some grilled fish or meat. Clearly, I haven’t come across a more versatile sauce than a pesto.

The Love Story of Luscious Peach and Flaky Pastry

Author’s Note

One bite onto this tart and the pastry crumbles and falls all over you, that’s how buttery and flaky this peach tart is. It is the perfect crust to the sweet, luscious, juicy caramelized peaches on top. You need to taste it to believe it and you’ll most certainly agree with me that it is a match made in heaven. Juicy summery fruit on buttery flaky pastry feels like a dream come true. And you can guzzle it anytime of the day as a snack, a dessert or even breakfast. I do sometimes indulge myself with a piece with my morning coffee, a great combination I must say.

It never sees the insides of the oven nor does it require the excessive attention to detail usually necessary while baking a cheesecake.
