Halloween is out here, and I decided to share with you a recipe that I made a few years ago to celebrate this holiday. A simple, quick and delicious recipe to whole family!
If there’s something that i love, it’s pasta! Pasta means comfort to me, means home, a feeling of a warm hug. Regardless of its color or shape, what can never miss on a pasta dish is a gorgeous sauce to bring all the juiciness and exuberance necessary to raise a simple spaghetti dish to an even more incredible level!
From a humble tomato sauce, to a pesto, a béchamel, or even a cheese sauce, the possibilities are countless and for all tastes. But today, I bring one of the most delicious sauces on this planet. An intense sauce, a sauce with presence, a sauce with strong personality, that leaves no one indifferent. That not only brings more flavor to the dish but also makes it more complete and nutritionally richer.
Today’s recipe is not just a sauce recipe, but the sauce is definitely the star of the dish. SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED VEGETABLE SAUCE and black beans, the perfect Halloween dish!
EASY | QUICK | LOW BUDGET | FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY | JUICY | SPICY | INTENSE
This is one of those super easy recipes that makes everyone drooling, but don’t keep us in the kitchen all day and allow us to enjoy the moment with friends and family. Because nobody deserves to stay in the kitchen all the time while the rest are having fun in the dining room, right?
And because we are talking about Halloween, the main ingredient of this recipe is the pumpkin. The pumpkin goes in the oven with tomatoes, onions and garlic and all the other spices, until it is golden brown, almost caramelized. At this stage the pumpkin achieve a taste beyond delicious.
Meanwhile, we boil the spaghetti with just water and salt, and sauté the beans in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder and smoked paprika.
When the vegetables are well roasted, remove them from the oven and blend them with the help of a hand blender until they become a super creamy sauce.
Then mix the pasta with the beans and the sauce until the sauce is perfectly distributed.
Add a final touch with the grated veg cheddar cheese, which is added at the very end so it can melts gracefully on all the ingredients.
And that´s it! You have no excuses to not make this easy recipe that will make kids and adults delirious! And now that you’ve decided what you’re going to do on your Halloween night, make sure to share your experience with me.
