This pasta is fantastic for summer and the end of summer. The fresh corn and tomatoes from the garden can be used in this recipe. It’s quick and easy to make, and it tastes great! Use your preferred pasta if you like. I employ thin spaghetti.

Reviews
This is amazing. I never write reviews (of anything), and I never try a recipe that hasn’t been reviewed, which isn’t fair, so here we go: I did have to change things a bit because we have food allergies. I baked a gluten free crust, let it cool, then covered it in that chocolate (genius) and I used goat cream cheese and plain greek yogurt for the creamy stuff, as we don’t handle dairy well here. It was awesome. I think I shouldn’t have added the jam to the strawberries until right before putting it on the pie, as I let it sit and it got pretty juicy. I might put it in the freezer for the 30 minutes instead of the fridge next time, but oh man everyone said it was the best pie they ever had. Not too sweet, the strawberries remain fresh, the chocolate puts it over the top, best summer pie ever!!! My special-needs kiddo shouted CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY IN MY FACE!!! Ha!
