These lemon butter pasta with burrata cheese are packed with delicious garlicky and lemony flavors. They also feature crispy capers and an irresistibly creamy burrata cheese.

Lemon Butter Pasta with Burrata Cheese

lb (454 grams) spaghetti

Tablespoons (85 grams) salted

lemons

lemon, juice

garlic,

Salt and pepper,

extra virgin olive oil

Tablespoon (15 grams) unsalted butter

(110 grams) breadcrumbs

Tablespoons capers, drained

red pepper flakes (optional)

cheese,

thyme

(120 ml) fresh basil, chopped

burrata cheese

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup (120 ml) cooking water for later.

While pasta is cooking, heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, capers, dry thyme, grated parmesan cheese, and chili flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally until the breadcrumbs are toasted all over and the capers fried, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs from the skillet and transfer to a shallow dish.

For the lemon butter pasta, wipe the skillet and reuse it. Melt 4 Tablespoons butter (55g) in the skillet over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes or until butter is browning, swirling the pan as needed. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant. Add lemon juice and zest, and stir.

Reduce the heat to low and add ½ cup of the pasta water*, the spaghetti and the remaining 2 Tablespoons (30g) butter, tossing until melted.

Remove from the heat, and serve lemon butter pasta with the crispy capers. Add fresh basil, torn burrata cheese, freshly ground black pepper and additional parmesan cheese. For more lemony flavors, grate additional lemon zest on top of your pasta before serving.

This was so delicious, fast, easy, and fun to make. I am still always in awe of how well butter and pasta water emulsify to make a creamy sauce with no cream. This was lemony, creamy, and super flavorful. The store was out of burrata so I had dollops of ricotta instead, also delicious. Thank you for sharing, Del!

This 15 minute lemon butter fish is elegant enough for date night but perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner too!

Needed a quick recipe for hungry stomachs without having to run out to shop.
Has everything and dug out Mahi Mahi out of the freezer.
Sauteed briefly shopped garlic w/added white wine and added capers to point [5].

A+ winner! 

Thank you for the inspiration.

I love this kind of recipe, stuff I usually have on hand. Even Mr Picky liked it. I added some broccoli to the pasta in the last few mins and it went well with it. This one is a keeper!

I wish I was able to post a picture because mine came out amazing! I used some flavor god lemon and garlic seasoning along with paprika. My butter sauce was a lot darker then the recipe shown. The spaghetti tasted amazing along the cod which I didn’t think it would work together.

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it's quickly become a favorite. I've made it several times and it's been easy and delicious every time! Highly recommend.

I didn't mind the dish, but my wife really disliked it. "Too much lemon!" was her critique. If I try this again, and I think I well might, I'll cut the lemon by half.

This recipe was so simple and so delicious! It was light but also flavorful! We added capers to the noodles upon serving, which made it even better. My picky boyfriend even loved it, so I definitely recommend this!

Perfect for a quick dinner for one as well, with ingredients on hand.  I just tasted the butter/lemon on the spaghetti, delicious!  Add any veggie and/or salad, and it’s very satisfying.  Thank you, Kylie!

Hi, I cooked this recipe today. I ask myself should I remove the fish skin in which step ? Before to add pasta ? While I'm eating ?
However, it was very easy, good, and different from what I'm used. I did'nt had lemon, I taked lime instead.

wow! Totally surprised at how simple this is to make and how tasty it is. I'll definitely be making it again 😋
