This is a very common recipe that we make in Greece, during the Easter lent. The sauce has a very strong taste so there is no need for cheese on the top. Some people are adding cheese at the top but I never do. Ingredients:
500 g spaghetti |
1 onion, large chopped into rings |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 tomatoes, cubed |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
2 chili peppers |
salt |
1 dash ground cinnamon |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
1 dash ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil and sauté until onions turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, the tomato paste, the sugar and the chilies. Cook until it boils and then reduce the heat on low.
3. Add the spices 5-10 minutes before turning the heat off.
4. Meanwhile cook and drain the pasta.
5. Add the cooked pasta hot at the sauce and let them stand for 2-3 minutes.
6. Ready to serve.
7. I like to add some pepper on my plate!
