Chef tips
To get the most out of Syrian spaghetti, sauté the tomato paste and spices in a bit of oil for a minute before adding water. This blooms the flavors and creates a richer, deeper sauce. For a heartier version, add browned ground beef with onions or sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top. Kids will love helping to toss the pasta until every strand is coated in red sauce.
