Haitian pasta:

The children LOVE LOVE LOVE this when we visit Haiti. I have been trying to replicate it for a while now.. last night I think I nailed it :0). This gives me great joy as it means I have at least ONE meal the boys will find familiar when they get home..

Haitian Spaghetti: enough to feed 16 people

1 1/2 sweet yellow onions chopped 

2 tsp Garlic crushed

3 peppers (one yellow, one gree, one red) Peppers chopped

about 4 tsp. fresh finely chopped thyme

4 TBSP Tomato base and ½ cup ketchup ( I used the Goya Sofrito tomato cooking base)

6 beef hot dogs cubed

salt and pepper to taste

Spaghetti: broken in half and cooked in boiling water for about 9 mins. Al dente..still firm)

Directions

1.       Break up spaghetti and boil al dente

2.       Fry onions, garlic, peppers, thyme, add hot dogs, slat and pepper to taste (remember hot dogs have their own saltiness) ..

3.       Add tomato base and ketchup (get over putting ketchup in pasta.. it tastes awesome)

4.       Drain spaghetti add spaghetti to base fry for few minutes until well coated.. it should be on the dryish side but don't brown!

Serve.. to friends with love and prayer!
