Espaguetis (Dominican-Style Spaghetti)
By Paola Garcia | October 23, 2020
Hola connoisseurs of good food. Today we present you with our recipe for the ever-popular dish spaghetti but with a Dominican twist. We call it: espaguetis.
In our Spaghetti a la Dominicana we use chunks of Dominican salami as the meat instead of the more traditional beef.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb spaghetti
2 tsp salt
1 lb salami
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 bell pepper cut into small cubes
1/4 cup pitted green olives
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 plum tomatoes cut into small cubes
1/4 tsp oregano
2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup ground Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Boil spaghetti: Place your spaghetti and a teaspoon of salt in a pot of water and boil it. Cook the spaghetti until it's a bit softer than al dente. Drain it from the water and set aside.
- Cook the sauce: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Cut the salami into cubes. Cook the salami until it browns. Lower heat to medium-low. Add the onions, pepper, olives, and garlic. Cook and stir for a minute, or until the onions become translucent. Add the tomatoes and oregano. Simmer covered until the tomatoes are cooked through (3-5 mins). Add the tomato sauce and stir to mix.
- Mix spaghetti and sauce: Add the milk and the spaghetti. Mix well on low heat stiring until the milk is mixed through. Season with pepper and salt to your taste.
- Serve: Garnish with the cheese and serve hot. I like my espaguetis with side salad, garlic bread and a nice glass of wine.
- Note: If you are unable to get the salami it's ok. Chicken chunks and or sliced pork sausage are also nice.
Enjoy!
