What is Burrata?

I discovered Burrata just a couple of years ago at a restaurant. I was out to lunch at work and someone ordered it as an appetizer. Being Italian I thought I knew all there was about the different varieties of cheese but man was I missing out! Burrata is an Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer casing is solid cheese, while the inside contains stracciatella and cream, giving it a super soft center.

How long does Pasta Salad last in the fridge?

I suggest eating your pasta salad within 4-5 days and storing it in the fridge in an air tight container.
