instructions
    1

    Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions, typically about 10-12 minutes, until al dente.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 150 grams of raspberries, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

    3

    Cook the raspberry mixture for about 5-7 minutes, mashing the raspberries gently with a fork to create a sauce. Allow it to simmer until it thickens slightly.

    4

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and reserve a bit of the pasta water.

    5

    Combine the pasta with the raspberry sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

    6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir to combine.

    7

    Serve warm and garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.
