Harissa Sauce Pasta.
I like to make and store sauces so my busy day meals are sorted in under thirty minutes. One such versatile sauce is harissa sauce which I use in various snacks, dips and pastas. The beautiful smoky, spicy, tangy and umami it adds to any dish makes it a keeper. Every time I make something with harissa I guess I end up writing more about the sauce than the actual dish 😂.
Me and the husband are super busy running errands and deep cleaning the home to welcome my parents in law. We would be meeting them after two long years due to the current ongoing pandemic. We are so excited and can’t wait to meet them in just two more days. This pasta recipe really came handy today to fix a quick dinner after a long and tiring day. Loaded with some freshness of basil and capers and additional sauce because it’s never enough :).
How to make this pasta?
Boil two portions of whole wheat pasta/spaghetti in salted water as per packet instructions. While the pasta boils, crush and chop 1 tbsp garlic until it almost forms like a paste. Heat a tbsp olive oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic until it begins to change colour. Mix in 3 tbsp harissa sauce/paste and mix it well. Add a tsp of mayonnaise. Mix in the cooked pasta. Top it up with some fresh basil and capers. Add more harissa paste/sauce like I do if you want. Enjoy!!!
