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

Reviews from our home cooks
Loved the Burrata and toasted Panko topping for the little crunch. Would have loved another mushroom or 2. It's a very mild sauce and some may find it bland. I love anything with mushrooms and don't eat spicy food so really enjoyed this recipe.
The ratio of sauce to pasta made this too difficult to mix together. Mushrooms were just all wadded in one area and there was not enough sauce to hold it together. When I ate it it was just a mouthful of pasta. I saved half for the next day & had enough ingredients on hand to make more sauce. That helped significantly. I really enjoyed the pan fried panko addition in the dish, I did not think the type of cheese added much flavor.
I LOVE BURRATA! I was so excited to find a meal with burrata on the menu! This turned out really good, and though I typically feel lemon flavors come through too strong in savory foods, this was really nice.
Delicious! Next time more mushrooms please. Plenty of pasta and burratta for everyone, but not enough mushroom sauce
The burrata is a terrific addition to what otherwise would be a nondescript spaghetti dish. Very nice twist!
Good creamy pasta with an earthy flavor enhanced by garlic and a hint of lemon.
Love the burrata on top of this pasta! Has nice textures and a subtle flavor, I'd make this one again.
Delicioso. Loved the addition of burrata. I also threw in a handful of frozen peas which I had around. And, as usual much more minced garlic.
Really enjoyed this, we made extra panko breadcrumbs and added some additional cream cheese. Definitely recommend!
Liked the flavor but we needed two containers of mushrooms or some other vegetable with the pasta to be more substantial as a meal.
