Spanish Tomato & Sausage Pasta | Macarrones a la Madrileña Recipe
Pasta is always associated with Italy, when in-fact it was created by the Chinesse. It was Marco Polo who brought it to Italy in the 12th century, and shortly there after, in the 13th century it arrived in Spain. So as you can imagine, pasta is a big deal in Spain. Just most people outside of Spain are unaware.

With that being said, I will show you how to make a delicious Spanish Tomato & Sausage Pasta. This dish hails from Madrid, where it is known as Macarrones a la Madrileña.

This pasta dish is loaded with flavors, super easy to make and comes together in just 30 minutes. The perfect pasta dish for a busy weeknight dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch, next to a bottle of Spanish wine.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I made my tomato sauce from scratch by finely grating tomatoes. But you can totally used canned tomato sauce (passata). For the sausages, I used beyond sausage, but you can use any sausage you like. From regular sausage to smoked sausage to spicy sausage.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY NONSTICK FRYING PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SWEET SMOKED PAPRIKA
MANCHEGO CHEESE
SPANISH SEA SALT
