Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim strawberries and cut into ¼-inch slices. Reserve 1 cup for serving and place the remaining strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar to the bowl of strawberries, mix well and let sit to macerate.
- Step 2
Add 2 to 3 generous pinches of salt to the boiling water, and boil the pasta according to package instructions until just past al dente. Drain the pasta and briefly rinse with cool water. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 3
Mash the strawberries in the mixing bowl with a potato masher until most of the juices have been released and a smattering of strawberry chunks remain. Add the sour cream and mix until well combined.
- Step 4
To serve, divide the pasta among bowls and top with the strawberry sauce and the reserved sliced strawberries.

Big thanks to Polish Grandmothers and mothers for their creativity to keep feeding their children with what was available seasonally. I remember growing up tasting all sorts of flower based dishes like pierogi with blueberries, potato & apple pancakes, blintzes with cheese, dumplings with plums, etc. Yes, it may sound strange to some, however, strawberries with noodles can bring us great memories while our parents had to deal with all sorts of food shortages. Try it with your kids!
I mean what’s not to like? Pasta, good! Strawberries, good! Sugar, good! My grandmother used to make it. My mother stills makes it. And I still love it. Polishness in a nutshell.
@Curious On a hot, summer day as a lunch/ main course. You can serve it with chilled yoghurt.
Made with full fat creamy yogurt and fresh pasta, and delicious strawberries. Easy recipe. But once was enough! Neither dessert nor main course. Perhaps if I had grown up with it...
Substitute yogurt for sour cream
We ate it with noodles, not italian pasta, and with sour cream.
