Ingredients

  • Spaghetti – 500g
  • Peppe Terra Cooking Paste – One 180g Doy Pack or Three 55g Sachets
  • Golden Terra Soya Oil – ¼ cup
  • Terra Seasoning Cube 
  • Scotch Bonnet (Ata Rodo) – 1 piece (blended or chopped, optional for extra heat)
  • Fresh Tomatoes – 3 medium-sized (blended)
  • Green Bell Pepper – 1 medium-sized (diced)
  • Onion – 1 large (diced)
  • Garlic – 2 cloves (minced)
  • Ginger – 1 teaspoon (grated)
  • Thyme – 1 teaspoon
  • Curry Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Mixed Vegetables (Carrot, Peas, Sweet Corn) – 1 cup (optional)
  • Parmesan Cheese or Local Cheese (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Procedure

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat Golden Terra Soya Oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant.
  3. Add Peppe Terra Cooking Paste, blended fresh tomatoes, and scotch bonnet (if using). Cook for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to float.
  4. Stir in the Terra Seasoning Cube, thyme, curry powder, and salt. If necessary, adjust the spice level with some water.
  5. Toss in diced green bell pepper and mixed vegetables. Allow the vegetables to cook lightly, maintaining their crunch.
  6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and toss until the sauce evenly coats every strand or piece.
  7. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavours meld together. Sprinkle with grated cheese (if desired) before serving.

Chef's Tips

  • Use Peppe Terra Cooking Paste as your secret ingredient for a rich and bold flavour.
  • Add protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef strips for a heartier meal.
  • Experiment with vegetable spaghetti or gluten-free spaghetti for a healthier alternative.
  • For extra flavour, toss in some freshly chopped parsley or basil before serving.
  • For the perfect texture, avoid overcooking the spaghetti—ensure it’s al dente.
