Chilli Spaghetti

Italian dishes are usually not something we eat spicy, but including some chillies creates a delightful surprise.

    Ik vond dit recept erg lekker. Omdat ik niet van heel pittig houd maar het recept toch lekker vond klinken heb ik de hoeveelheid chili pepers sterk verminderd.

    Great recipe! I changed the pine nuts for peanuts, and made this for some 15 people in my student association, and although many are not usually fond of vegetarian recipes, I received several amazed reactions of fellow students really enjoying the meal. Especially the chili peppers are just an amazing twist to pasta. Quite easy, very tasty, potentially vegan, and healthy 🙂
