Some things you just have to try yourself to actually have a say. That you can prepare pasta in a sweet way always seemed to me to be a crazy idea – until recently. I’ve always thought: this simply can’t taste good! (Just like pizza with pineapples haha.) But since I’m an adventurous person I thought I might as well try it. The sweet pasta I mean, not the pineapple pizza ;). And what can I tell you… once again I was taught better. The sweet cherry pasta was so unbelievably delicious that it will certainly be very, very often on our tables! Trust me when I say: definitely try!

Sweet Cherry Pasta

For caffeine-sensitive people, I recommend eating this pasta for lunch and not for dinner. Otherwise it could happen that you have to stay up all night and watch Netflix (oh no!), because you won’t be able to sleep.
