11 Aug More berry recipes

I am almost satiated with seasonal berries. I have been eating them in different forms almost every day – I miss them so much throughout the year, that I have to get my fill in the summer months. And I’m so nearly there… but before that happens here’s a couple of berry recipes from this week, starting with another pasta one. I realize that  people can’t quite get used to the idea of sweet pasta (here’s an earlier blueberry pasta recipe) but just look at rice pudding – it’s a very similar concept. Except this doesn’t have to be eaten as a pudding… Anyway, it’s an incredibly simple recipe – you just cook the berries with the sugar and vanilla essence for about 5min, until they turn into a sauce consistency. Cook the pasta separately, in plenty of salty water. Combine the creme fraiche with the berry mixture, and warm gently. And finally combine the two!
