Pasta and strawberries are not foods that usually go together, but in Poland, this combination is a beloved delicacy known as "makaron z truskawkami."

“Makaron z truskawkami” is Polish for “pasta with strawberries,” and is a dish consisting of regular pasta with a sauce made from strawberries and cream, then topped with sugar.

The mixture of sweet fruits and cream with pasta makes it a versatile dish, and in Poland, it’s both a dessert and a common school lunch during late spring and early summer.

You can use any pasta shape for this dish. Home cooks often crush or blend the strawberries into a sauce and mix it with sugar and cream (or yogurt, sour cream, or creme fraiche).

You can also chop up the strawberries and toss them into the pasta. As for the sweetener, if you aren’t a fan of using sugar, honey is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
