Everybody loves a good pasta dish. They´re easy to make, very versatile and usually done within 30 minutes. In this post, I will show you how to make The BEST-EVER Pasta Recipe. This dish is loaded with so much flavor, it´s made with simple ingredients and yup, done in just 30 minutes.
What separates this pasta dish from others, is the spices & herbs. Most pasta dishes call for either oregano or basil. In this dish, I used sweet smoked Spanish paprika and thyme. The combination of these two spices, is what gives this pasta sauce the most incredible flavor ever.
My favorte part about this pasta recipe? It´s made with the most basic ingredients and it comes together in just 30 minutes. The perfect pasta dish for a busy weeknight or for a relaxed weekend lunch, next to a bottle of Spanish wine 🙂 .
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: I used spaghetti in this pasta dish, but you can use any pasta you like. Whatever you use, make sure to cook your pasta al dente. Check your pastas package instructions. Because there is nothing worse than over-cooked pasta.
