Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Pinch of salt

How to Make Sweet Blueberry Pasta

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and half of the fresh blueberries, allowing them to cook in the sauce for about 3-4 minutes until they start to burst and release their juices.
4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the saucepan, tossing it gently to coat the pasta in the creamy blueberry sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta cooking water until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Remove from heat and fold in the remaining blueberries, allowing them to sit for a minute to warm through.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be al dente to hold up against the creamy sauce.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the blueberries with other berries like strawberries or raspberries for a different twist.
• Add a sprinkle of lemon zest for a zesty kick that complements the sweetness.
• For a vegan version, use coconut cream and your favorite plant-based pasta.

What to Serve With It

• A light, crisp salad to balance the richness of the pasta.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
• Grilled chicken or shrimp on the side for a savory contrast.
