Bake the pie crust according to the instructions on the package. Allow the pie crust to cool.
Meanwhile, hull all the strawberries and halve about 1 pound of the best looking strawberries.
Puree the other pound of strawberries using a blender, until smooth. Cook the pureed strawberries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to boil.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water and stir until well mixed. Slowly add the cornstarch to the strawberry puree and continue to cook until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Arrange the halved strawberries in the pie crust.
Allow the strawberry sauce to cool slightly, about 5 minutes, before pouring over the strawberries in the pie crust. Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow to set overnight.
Serve chilled with whipped cream if desired.
