Spaghetti with Spanish Flavours Recipe - A Delicious Twist

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 200 grams spaghetti
  • 300 grams pork shoulder (cut into small cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • 50 grams parmesan cheese (grated, for serving)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Cook the spaghetti

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté the pork

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and sauté until browned on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add aromatics

    Add onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  4. Season the mixture

    Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat the pork.

    Let the spices cook for a minute for enhanced flavor.
  5. Combine with tomatoes

    Add canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

    Simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Toss with spaghetti

    Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce.

    If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth.
  7. Serve

    Plate the spaghetti and garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.

    Serve immediately for the best flavor.
