How to Make Dominican Spaghetti

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Ground turkey is leaner, while canned tuna is cost-effective.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cut the boneless ham steak into small cubes.

Boil water in a pot and add one box of spaghetti, optionally cutting it in half.

Cook the spaghetti for approximately 12 minutes until completely cooked, then drain the water.

Sauté chopped onions and peppers in a skillet with enough oil.

Add more oil if needed while sautéing the vegetables.

Add sofrito and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste to the sautéed vegetables.

Season with black pepper.

Add approximately 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and one can of 8 ounces of tomato sauce.

Optionally add 2 tablespoons of green olives with pimentos.

Cook on low heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of salted butter.

Add 1 teaspoon of chicken powdered bouillon or one chicken bouillon.
