Spring Pea and Burrata Bruschetta is an easy and elegant springtime appetizer
Sarah Nasello’s copycat version uses sugar snap peas, burrata and basil pesto to recreate the limited-time appetizer with store-bought ingredients.
Sarah Nasello and her husband, Tony Nasello, recently recreated a popular spring appetizer from Pizzeria Lola in Minneapolis at their home, designing the dish to replicate the restaurant's seasonal "Peas and Burrata."
Inspired by a meal enjoyed last month at the south Minneapolis restaurant, the pair sought to construct a home version using accessible ingredients before the specialty leaves the seasonal menu.
Sarah Nasello assembled the bruschetta by topping toasted French baguette slices with basil mint pesto, fresh sugar snap peas, and creamy burrata, adding Parmesan and honey to create a flavor profile that left the couple "ooh-ing and aah-ing."
This recipe appears in the weekly column "Home with the Lost Italian," written by Sarah Nasello featuring recipes by Tony, offering a simple, rustic alternative to traditional tomato-based toppings.
As the ingredients for this dish are only available for a limited time each spring, the couple plans to enjoy it while they can, emphasizing fresh produce like sugar snap peas to celebrate the season.
