"Pasta With What?" Polish Tennis Player Iga Swiatek's Viral Food Confession Breaks The Internet
Italians undoubtedly know pasta too well - it is, after all, where the globally popular dish was born. Pasta is a versatile meal that changes with every single ingredient you choose to add, or skip. However, even the Italians might struggle to digest how Polish enjoy their pasta with strawberries. Yes, pasta with strawberries is part of classic Polish cuisine. This unusual dish is currently going viral on social media, thanks to Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, who shared her love for strawberry pasta after winning her third-round match against Danielle Collins. The Wimbledon champion revealed that her favourite dish is pasta with strawberries. "I have my favourite dish. I ate it often as a child. It's pasta with strawberries. You should try it. Pasta, strawberries and a bit of yoghurt, it's just delicious," Swiatek said, with her expression making it clear that not many people would relate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wimbledon (@wimbledon) This unique style of eating pasta has sparked a wave of comments from food lovers on social media. The most notable reaction came from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who shared a photo of himself watching the tennis star's interview while enjoying a plate of strawberry pasta. Smacznego! 🏆 — Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) July 12, 2025 Here are some more interesting social media reactions to this sweet twist on pasta: A surprised Instagram user wrote, "Pasta with what?" Another viewer commented, "Classic Polish summer dish! Try it." A fan said, "So relatable for many Polish fans. Thank you, Iga - not only for a great match, but also for the brave promotion of a true summer classic from Polish cuisine." Another added, "I felt so patriotic when she said that." "Pasta with strawberries - the only dish where your Italian friend cries, and your Polish grandma beams with pride," an Instagram user summed it up perfectly. This dish is nostalgic comfort food in Poland, especially in summer when strawberries are fresh and sweet. Curious to try this dish? Here is the recipe. How To Make Polish Strawberry Pasta With Yoghurt Ingredients You Need 150-200g pasta (traditionally small pasta like twarozkowy makaron, but penne, fusilli, or even spaghetti works) 250g fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped 200g plain or vanilla yoghurt (or use thick Greek yoghurt for creaminess) 1-2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on strawberry sweetness) Pinch of salt Steps To Make Strawberry Pasta Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook as per packet instructions until soft. While the pasta is cooking, wash, hull, and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Lightly mash them with a fork to release their juices. Drain the cooked pasta and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes so it is warm but not piping hot. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta with yoghurt. Mix gently. Add the mashed strawberries with their juices and stir to combine evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Shubman Gill addresses elephant in the room after India collapse in chase of 193: 'Jadeja is experienced, didn't want…'
India came close, but not close enough. And in the end, they fell short by 22 runs to give England a 2-1 lead in the five-match series for the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. A Test cricket purist cannot ask for more. From being 112/8, when all hopes and beliefs were lost, India's lower order, which has come under the scanner for all the wrong reasons lately, showed stomach for a fight. It was because of Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja that India were able to reduce the margin of the defeat. Sure, one school of thought will say that India bottled an easy chase – and that is true – but let it not overshadow the spirit shown by India's 9, 10 and 11 batters, along with the one and only Jadeja. India captain Shubman Gill is not losing heart(PTI) Jadeja added 30 runs with Nitish Reddy, 35 with Jasprit Bumrah, and another 23 with Siraj, which brought them close but not enough, as India were bowled out for 170. Jadeja did brilliantly to bat as well as he did with the tail, but his innings was also surrounded by a huge 'what if'. Could he have farmed the strike a lot more to his partners? Could he have shown a little more intent and attempted more boundaries? Former India head coach Ravi Shastri was very vocal about Jadeja's approach, constantly expressing his desire to see the India all-rounder break free. When asked if there's anything different that Jadeja could have done, India captain Shubman Gill's reply was straightforward. Also Read: Siraj inconsolable, Jadeja shattered after India's heartbreak at Lord's; Root, Stokes forget beef to go lift them up "He (Jadeja) is very experienced; didn't want to give him any message. I think he was batting really well with the tail and I just wanted him and the tailenders to bat as long as possible," Gill said at the post-match presentation ceremony. Shubman Gill mighty proud of India's fight Gill would take heart from the fact that India fought tooth and nail to work the result in their favour. When 7 wickets went down inside 100, they could have easily thrown in the towel or played for a draw. But Jadeja, Siraj, Nitish Reddy and Bumrah kept at it, to the extent that the margin of runs required kept coming down. 90 to 70, 70 to 30, 30 to less than 20, even. Had that ball not trickled onto the stumps after hitting Siraj's bat, who knows, India could have scripted arguably their greatest heist, even trumping Gabba. In a matter of 3 hours, what could have ended up being a meek surrender became known as a fight for the ages, and Gill couldn't be prouder of the effort. Surely, he would have expected a lot more from India's in-form top order, but the law of averages is real. "Extremely proud. At one point, we thought if we get a lead of 80-100 that might be crucial for us, because we knew the fifth day on this wicket might not be that easy to chase 150-200, so we were thinking if we can get a lead of 80 runs, we would be in a good position. I think the last one hour (yesterday), we could have applied ourselves a bit better, especially the last 2 wickets that fell. And even this morning, the way they came out with the plans, we were hoping for one 50-run partnership and if we had gotten one 50-run partnership in the top order, then things would have been easier for us," added the India captain.
