When I saw this recipe, I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Strawberry pasta?? Are you kidding me? Sign me up.
Today I am sharing a recipe from one of my best friend’s cookbook. This Strawberry Pasta is from my friend, Olenko’s, new hit Raw Food Art Cookbook!
When I saw this gorgeousness, I knew that I had to make it.
Olenko is originally from Poland, and she told me that Strawberry pasta is a traditional Polish dish (I had never heard of it before). Traditionally, the strawberry sauce is served warm over wheat noodles, but this recipe is her raw spin on the original.
This recipe can be enjoyed as a light summer meal or even as a dessert! I think it’s another fun and interesting way to eat more vegetables. I would have never thought to eat zucchini noodles with a sweet sauce, but it actually works!
By the way, strawberries are great during pregnancy. Let’s keep getting those anti-oxidants daily babes!
