This linguine baked pie comes right out of the oven crispy on top, oozing with cheese on the inside, and worthy of swirling around your fork.
Burrata cheese comes in tubs like fresh mozzarella. If you like, grate a little extra cheese—Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino or Provolone—and sprinkle on top of baked pie, along with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Notes
- Onion Size: Onions can greatly vary in size. If your “small” onion seems on the larger side, consider using only half or three-quarters to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Cheese Substitution: While this recipe calls for burrata, ricotta, and Parmigiano Reggiano, feel free to experiment with other cheeses that melt well, such as mozzarella or fontina, for a different flavor profile.
- Pasta Cooking: Ensure you cook the pasta just until al dente, as it will continue cooking in the oven. Overcooking initially can result in a too-soft texture post-baking.
- Baking Dish: If you don’t have the mentioned baking dishes, any similar-sized ovenproof dish will do. However, baking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye out.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- Add-Ins: For those looking to incorporate more flavors or textures, consider adding cooked vegetables, like bell peppers or spinach, or even some cooked crumbled bacon or sausage.
