Recipe type: Dinner
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 28-ounce can San Marzano crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon raw sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flake
  • Pecorino romano cheese and freshly-ground black pepper, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Stew together tomatoes and strawberries for about 30 minutes in a large pot on medium-low, until reduced a little, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in olive oil, sugar, salt, and chili flake.
  3. Using a food processor or immersion blender, puree the tomato strawberry mixture. You can puree until smooth or leave the sauce slightly chunky. Just depends on your texture preference. I had the sauce slightly chunky at the restaurant so I pureed it smooth at home. Set aside.
  4. Cook pasta according to the package. Drain and reserve a tablespoon of pasta water.
  5. Toss together the pasta and the sauce, adding the pasta water, if necessary to loosen up the sauce.
  6. Finish with fresh cracked pepper and pecorino cheese.
