Decadent Dessert Pasta
This is so sinful, but you MUST try it:
1 cup strawberries -- thinly sliced
1/3 cup dark brown sugar -- divided
3/4 cup whipping cream
4 ounces angel hair pasta
4 tablespoons toasted hazelnuts -- chopped
In a small bowl, gently toss the sliced berries and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Cover and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, mix the cream and the rest of the sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, cream has turned light brown and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.
Cook the pasta per package instructions, omitting the salt. Be sure to drain the pasta completely. Over medium heat, add the pasta to the sauce mixture and toss until coated. Before serving, spoon the berries with their juice over the pasta and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Serve immediately.
