Pasta as dessert, you might think, but please humor me and try it, you will love it. Just a small bowl with lots of sauce. We eat pancakes and appetizers for dinner, pizza for breakfast, risotto for for breakfast or dessert, like my Coffee and Cream Risotto. This time, I offer Sweet Strawberry Pasta Dessert and I know you’re gonna love it and will try other fruits as well.
The fast majority of desserts are made from a carb component and a fruity part, so is this. Pasta offers the carbs and the sauce is obviously the fruit. You can make it sweeter or sugar-free if you like. Use cream, or even add a scoop of ice cream.
Key Ingredients in This Recipe
You’ll find the complete list of ingredients and exact quantities in the recipe below.
- Fresh tagliatelle – For this recipe I used fresh tagliatelle. The main reason is that fresh pasta stays softer when cold than cooked and cooled dry pasta. Additionally, fresh pasta is also a lot quicker to cook, a few minutes. This means that you can make this recipe after dinner without missing much of the conversation.
- Granulated sugar – just a tiny bit to start sweetening the pasta during cooking.
- Strawberries
- Light brown sugar
- Creme fraiche
- Mint – basil is a nice alternative.
How to Make Sweet Strawberry Past Dessert
Step 1 – Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them in smaller pieces. Transfer them to a food processor and add the light brown sugar and the salt. Pulse until you have strawberry puree.
Step 2 – Pour the strawberry puree through a sieve to get rid of the little seeds. Add the creme fraiche and mix well.
Step 3– Cook the pasta with the granulated sugar according to the directions on the packaging. Drain and rinse in a colander until cold.
Mix the pasta with the strawberry sauce and divide over 2 bowls.
- Step 4 – Garnish the bowls with strawberries and fresh mint leaves.
