Creamy spaghetti with pepper and onion sauce
Ingredients
- 200 grams of organic whole wheat spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- dried oregano to taste
- 1/2 white onion
- 3 bay leaves
- 5 sprigs of fresh parsley
- 3 red bell peppers
- sea salt to taste
- Parmesan cheese to taste
Preparation
- Cook the spaghetti pasta with a little sea salt and three bay leaves until al dente. Drain and reserve.
- Take the bell peppers and remove the inner part with everything and seeds, then cut into thin slices (julienne).
- Finely chop the onion and fresh parsley sprigs.
- Sauté the onion in the preheated olive oil.
- After a couple of minutes, add the red bell pepper and continue sautéing in the oil for 7 more minutes.
- This mixture is allowed to cool and once cold you grind it until you obtain a homogeneous sauce.
- You put this sauce in the pan along with the parsley and oregano and let the flavors settle over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
- After that add this sauce to the cooked spaghetti and stir very well.
- Put some Parmesan cheese on top or after serving on the plate, garnish with parsley or bay leaves.
Advice
- You can leave as optional some slices of the bell pepper without grinding and then add them to the spaghetti giving more presentation, more texture, color and flavor.
- You can also use the type of spaghetti that you like the most. This time we have chosen an organic whole wheat pasta for a healthier dish, but you can opt for a white pasta, or even a gluten-free pasta, in case you are celiac or gluten intolerant. These pastes already exist on the market.
- Although this pasta does not contain cow cream in its sauce, you can make a variation in it by adding a little of this cream in its light presentation or a little Manchego cheese to give it a thicker consistency. Try to always use organic products.
