Somali Spaghetti Sauce

Pretty good recipe I dont think Ill make it again. Not that it wasnt good just I prefer pasta without potatoes (too many carbs) and wasnt saucy enough for my liking. I think I will stick with traditional bolognese sauce. Thank you for the recipe though and I would recommend this for anyone who wants to try something different.

Very interesting and very delicious. I made mine without the meat. Will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe.

Yum! I put turmeric in anything I can, but never thought of cilantro in spaghetti sauce. Very fresh tasting. My only substitution was to use soy crumbles instead of beef. Not only delicious, but an anti-inflammatory bonanza! Thanks for the recipe.

I LOVED IT!!!! My 7 yr old found the carrots and potatoes off-putting but after a few times, I think she'll get used to it. It takes like regular spaghetti for the most part. I always cut pasta amounts in half. It was perfect that way.

Though I didn't follow the recipe exactly, I never thought of putting turmeric in spaghetti sauce. I had some fresh turmeric root to use so I grated one in. I've never put potato in before either but it was a great thickener. I added fresh Rosemary and Basil . It was Awesome! Ty for sharing.

***MY NOTE: This recipe reminds me of my Dear Maman similar Spaghetti Sauce that is prepared with similar spices to Mexican & Moroccan pasta sauce. My family cooked with turmeric practically in all their cooking as it is very healthy spice. This spaghetti sauce is tasty and I have made it for years. The only thing I changed is instead of dicing and cubing the onions, carrots and potato, for a better sauce consistence and short cut I placed them all with the cilantro and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, and followed the rest of the steps of the recipe. ABSOLUTELY YUMMY & HEAILTHY SOMALI PASTA DISH! Thanks you Ma for sharing.

My family absolutely loves this recipe. I’ve made it several times. A great way to change up your pasta game.

I don’t often leave reviews because I do that thing that drives others crazy: I adjust recipes according to what I have on hand and according to my husband’s dietary demands. Having said that, I love this recipe. My husband loves Bolognese sauce, but we’ve had it so often that I’m sick of it. This is a great compromise, and it gets some veggies into his diet. He is a diabetic, so I did not use potatoes. I don’t care for the taste of Mrs Dash products, so I also omitted that. However, I’m a Southern girl, so there’s always okra in my freezer. Okra having African origins, I thought it might make an excellent addition, so I added three pods, chopped. The resulting sauce was delicious and so fragrant! Will certainly make this again.

Great recipe. I didn't change a thing. My three kids loved it and they are always a tough sell. This will definitely be in our dinner rotation. Thanks!!

Loved it - a different take on spaghetti sauce with veggies and tasty sauce

I'm glade you liked it. I'm not one to follow recipes exactly either! The fresh rosemary and basil sounds really good, that I will try using them on my next sauce.

This one is a keeper with requests to have it in the regular rotation. I substituted fresh basil for the cilantro and Italian seasoned ground turkey so therefore omitted the Italian seasoning. I picked a nice red potato which worked nicely.
