Spaghetti with ham-ketchup sauce

This creamy tomato sauce is light and a favorite of young and old alike!

Prep Time: about 35 min.

Difficulty: easy

Ingredients for four people:

• 500g spaghetti (Organic Spaghetti from Probios)
• Parmesan for sprinkling
• Oil for frying

For the sauce:

• 3 shallots*
• 220g Organic Frusano Ketchup
• 300g cooked ham (pay attention to the sugars!)
• 200ml cream (lactose free if necessary)
• 100ml water
• 3 tsp. chopped parsley
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

• Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions and keep warm.
• Peel and dice the shallots.  Cut the ham into small pieces. 
• Heat the oil in a pan, add the shallots and sauté.  Add the ham to the pan and quickly fry.
• Add the Organic Tomato-Ketchup from Frusano, cream, water, and parsley to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer over medium heat.
• Serve the ham-ketchup sauce with spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

Tip: This sauce also tastes good with rice (ex. Organic Carnaroli White Rice from Probios).

Variation:

For a tasty Bolognese-style sauce, replace the ham with ground pork or beef.

*If you don’t have shallots, you can use onions instead.  However, onions contain more fructose and sucrose.

Have fun cooking and Bon Appetit!
