SPAGHETTI FRUIT RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet. When you are about to drain the spaghetti, turn the heat under the skillet to medium. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and transfer to the skillet. Add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Add the butter and cook, tossing quickly, until the sauce glazes the spaghetti, about 30 seconds; add more cooking water a few tablespoons at a time if the spaghetti seems dry. Add the parmesan and toss to melt; season with salt.
• Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Top generously with more Parmesan and coarse pepper.

Steps:

• Heat ¼ cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and red pepper flakes, season with salt, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until tomato juices have reduced slightly, about 3 minutes. Add strawberries and sugar and cook, stirring often, until strawberries are soft and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; let cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor to a coarse purée.
• Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to tomato sauce along with ½ cup pasta cooking liquid and cook, tossing and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, drizzle with more oil, and toss to combine. Serve pasta topped with onion, ricotta, and black pepper.
