Spaghetti with Sobrasada


This curious recipe was given to me by a French lady who lived in Algeria until the 60's when she had to move to France. There was an important Majorcan colony living and working in Algeria at the beginning of the 20th century. They manufactured tobacco products, and because they wanted to eat the same foods as in Majorca, they also produced the famous sobradasa, a spicy red sausage that can be spread on bread and which every Majorcan adores.

This is also a fast food recipe. It takes 15 minutes to make and requires very few ingredients.
Ingredients for 4:
30o gr spaghetti
150 gr sobrasada
Olive oil

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water for 6-8 minutes until just booked. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the sobrasada, melt it gently separating the meat with a fork. Add the drained spaghetti and mix well, with a fork.
Serve hot.
