Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Place burrata in a small bowl. Using two forks, shred burrata into bite-size pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir until combined and creamy. Set aside.

    Zest and quarter lemon. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.

    Transfer to a second small bowl; stir in as much lemon zest as you like. Wipe out pan.

  3. 3

    Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

  4. 4

    While pasta cooks, heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds more.

    Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cream cheese, 1⁄4 cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 2 TBSP butter until thoroughly combined (1⁄2 cup pasta cooking water and 4 TBSP butter for 4 servings).

  5. 5

    Add drained spaghetti, scallion greens, and a big squeeze of lemon juice to pan with mushrooms; toss until pasta is evenly coated, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until everything is coated in a creamy sauce.

    Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Divide pasta between shallow bowls; sprinkle with panko and top with a dollop of seasoned burrata. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
