To prepare a delicious and hearty dish, we will start by boiling the potatoes in their skins. This step is essential to preserve the natural flavor of the vegetables and to give them a pleasant texture. Once boiled, they are drained and left to cool slightly, then carefully peeled and cut into small cubes, about 1-2 cm. These will add a hearty and filling note to the final dish.
In the same pot, we will cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. It is important to choose a type of pasta that matches the rest of the ingredients, preferably penne or fusilli, which can hold the delicious sauce we will prepare. After the pasta is cooked, we will drain it and set it aside.
Meanwhile, we will finely chop a medium onion. In a pan, we heat a little oil and add the chopped onion, letting it sauté over medium heat. We stir constantly to ensure it browns evenly and takes on a golden color. This process will release the aroma and natural sweetness of the onion. Once the onion is ready, we add 2-3 tablespoons of sweet paprika, which will give the dish a vibrant color and intense flavor. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to taste.
After adding the spices, to create a savory sauce, we pour a little water into the pan and let it boil for a few minutes. This step will help all the flavors combine harmoniously. After a few minutes, we add the boiled potato cubes, stirring carefully not to crush them. We continue to stir for a few minutes, so the potatoes absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Finally, we add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix everything carefully to ensure that each piece is coated with the delicious sauce. The dish is now ready to serve! It is ideal to serve it alongside pickled cucumbers or with sour yogurt, which will add a note of freshness. This dish is perfect for Fridays, when traditionally no meat is consumed, but one can enjoy a rich and satisfying taste. Enjoy your meal!
