Puerto Rican Spaghetti

A simple dish with sofrito, peppers, onions, and ground chicken. The difference with this dish is that we add Latin spices like sofrito.

Sofrito is made with fresh garlic, onions, peppers, fresh herbs like culantro and cilantro. This mixture of fresh herbs, and vegetables makes your food taste amazing.

This pasta is made in many Latin homes, with chicken or ground beef.

To top it all we add grated parmesan cheese on top for that flavorful touch!
