Professional career Ladies European Tour In 2005, Recari qualified for the Ladies European Tour. She turned professional at age 18 for the 2006 LET season. She balanced professional golf with school in the spring of 2006, but after the completion of her first academic year, she concentrated on her golf career.

Recari won her first tournament as a pro in her fourth LET season at the 2009 Finnair Masters at Helsinki, Finland, where she holed out for an eagle two from on the first playoff hole to win € 30,000. Her best season to date as a professional, she finished 22nd on the 2009 LET Order of Merit (money list), with earnings of €68,889.

LPGA Tour In 2010, during her first year on the LPGA Tour, Recari had made only three of thirteen cuts through September, and had missed the last five cuts. With under $43,000 in earnings, a return to the Qualifying Tournament appeared imminent, but a successful autumn run allowed her to finish with over $265,000, 39th on the money list. In October, Recari won her first LPGA event at the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge in northern California and made the cut in her final five events to finish runner-up to compatriot Azahara Muñoz for 2010 LPGA Rookie of the Year honors. Recari ended the year at 56th in the world rankings.

Recari played and made the cut in all of the 27 LPGA official events in 2012. Her streak of consecutive starts and cuts made earned her the nickname "Iron Woman". Recari earned $444,620 with five top-ten finishes, which ranked her 32nd on the money list. Her best finish throughout the year was a tied for sixth at the Navistar LPGA Classic. Recari ended 2012 ranked 59th in the world rankings.
