Certainly! Here's a recipe for Spanish pasta, specifically a popular dish called "Espaguetis a la Boloñesa" (Spanish-style spaghetti with Bolognese sauce). It's a delicious and hearty pasta dish enjoyed in Spain.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) of spaghetti or pasta of your choice
- 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 can (14 ounces/400 grams) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Prepare the Bolognese sauce: Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove any excess fat from the pan.
Add the aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Add the tomato base: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, ensuring that the vegetables and ground beef are well coated. If desired, pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes to enhance the flavor.
Season and simmer: Add the dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Cook the pasta and combine: While the sauce is simmering, bring the pot of salted water back to a boil. Add the cooked spaghetti or pasta to the pot and toss it with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook for a minute or two to warm it up.
Serve: Remove the bay leaf from the Bolognese sauce and discard it. Place a portion of the cooked spaghetti onto individual serving plates or a large serving dish. Spoon the Bolognese sauce over the pasta, ensuring each portion is generously coated.
Garnish and enjoy: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley over the top of each serving. Serve the Spanish-style pasta hot and enjoy!
