Ingredients

For 3 servings
  • 250 g durum wheat spaghetti (thick is best)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 generous handfuls of fresh spinach
  • 750 ml vegetable stock (or whichever you prefer)
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tsp ras el hanout
  • 2 tbsp thick tomato sauce (tomate frito)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 g grated cheese, to taste
  • salt and pepper optional
Mum's tip If it runs out of stock, add a little more until the pasta is cooked and creamy.

Step by step

  1. In a cast-iron pot (or a large saucepan), put all the ingredients in raw: the pasta, onion, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, tomato sauce, stock and coconut milk.
  2. Bring the pot to the boil over a medium-high heat.
  3. When it starts to bubble, add the ras el hanout and stir gently.
  4. Turn the heat down a little and cook for about 16 minutes, stirring now and then so the pasta doesn't stick.
  5. Check it's ready: the pasta should be al dente, the vegetables just cooked and the sauce nice and creamy.
  6. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and grated cheese on top.
