spaghetti
Tallarin Verde con Aji - Peruvian Dish
This mimics a dish commonly served in peruvian restaurants. Its basically spaghetti in a green pesto and its usually served with a side of Aji (ahi), a delicious spicy sauce made with a special peruvian herb called Huacatay (or Black Mint), which is a little hard to find unless there is a latin market in your area. The kelp noodles don’t exactly taste like noodles so it throws it off a bit from the original taste, but it still tastes great and is a great way to get down greens in alternative to a green smoothie!
I actually don’t know the quantities, i just do it by intuition! But I will put the ingredients in order of most to least
Noodles:
Kelp Noodles are used in this photo, also can use Zucchini Noodles!
Pesto:
Basil, arugula or spinach, mint, soaked pine nuts, sprouted sunflower seeds, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, nama shoyu, water, optional herbs and spices
