What cheeses to use if I cannot find burrata?

If you don’t find fresh burrata, there are a few ways for you to save the situation. When seeking a substitute for burrata cheese, fresh mozzarella can be a suitable alternative. While it is not as creamy as burrata, it is still mild, soft, and milky enough. Or, you might whip together ricotta and heavy cream to achieve a similar consistency. For this recipe of one-pot pasta, goat cheese or feta can also provide a tangy contrast, yet, with a firmer texture.

What type of pasta is best for this recipe?

For the One-Pot Turkey Pasta with Veggies & Burrata recipe, selecting the right type of pasta is crucial. Go for shapes like shells or fusilli that can trap the juices and minced meat inside their gaps. Shells, in particular, are excellent for trapping the savory sauce and meat mixture inside their concave shapes. Their sturdy structure also holds up well during cooking, preventing them from becoming mushy and ensuring a satisfying texture – exactly what we’re looking for!
