I’ve been using this Spaghetti with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Olives Recipe, and even my Italian friends, when they come for dinner, ask me what the secret is to obtain a delicious creamy tomato sauce.
Well, here is my recipe!
In many Peruvian dishes, we add chili peppers to make sauces. I also added it to the traditional tomato sauce recipe, resulting in a creamy texture that goes perfectly with the pasta.
I am using a dried red chili pepper, which you can find at the supermarket. It will add some spiciness, but it is not overwhelming.
This recipe also has vegetables such as celery and carrots. The aroma comes from the unmissable bay leaves, and the olives give it an acid touch.
Serve it with some fresh basil leaves to add color and freshness to your spaghetti!
In conclusion, our Spaghetti with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Olives Recipe is a culinary delight. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, its simplicity, deliciousness, and stunning presentation make it a perfect choice. Give it a try and enjoy a delectable meal that’s quick to prepare and sure to impress!
