Make the Strawberry Sauce:
In a small saucepan or blender, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
If using fresh strawberries, simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes until softened. Blend until smooth and chill.
If using frozen berries, thaw and blend directly with sugar.
Set aside the sauce to cool.
Prepare the Ice Cream “Spaghetti”:
Place a generous dollop of whipped cream onto a dessert plate (this will be the “spaghetti base”).
Scoop softened vanilla ice cream into a potato ricer or spaetzle press.
Press the ice cream directly onto the whipped cream, forming spaghetti-like strands.
Assemble the Dessert:
Spoon the chilled strawberry sauce evenly over the ice cream “noodles” to resemble tomato sauce.
Sprinkle white chocolate shavings or shredded coconut on top as the “Parmesan cheese.”
Add optional garnishes like a mint leaf or crushed nuts.
Serve:
Serve immediately before the ice cream melts.
Enjoy the surprise and delight of this delicious dessert disguised as pasta
Recipe Notes :
Ice Cream Texture : The ice cream should be just soft enough to press but not melted—let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Strawberry Sauce : For a chunkier texture, skip the blender and mash strawberries with a fork.
Variation : Try chocolate ice cream for “meat sauce” or mango sauce for a fruity twist.
Serving Suggestion : Serve in chilled bowls or shallow plates for the most authentic “spaghetti” look.
