Burrata is a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese filled with strands of fresh mozzarella and cream. It is often sold in the deli section of the grocery store.

Substitute fresh mozzarella pearls or dollops of ricotta cheese for the burrata.

Prepare using other short pasta shapes such as rigatoni or penne.
