At first glance, it may seem that these two products – coffee and pasta – are incompatible and cannot be used in the same dish.
However, this statement can be considered erroneous. And this is confirmed by many examples of coffee being successfully used in the preparation of pasta.
Why add coffee to pasta
Professional chefs add coffee to pasta sauce. This is done to improve the taste of the dish, to give it a unique flavor and taste.
Coffee Sauce Recipe
To prepare the sauce, chop the tomatoes or tomato paste and cook them in a frying pan with olive oil, then add salt, pepper, sugar and garlic.
The sauce should be simmered for 4-5 minutes while the coffee is brewing.
A quarter teaspoon of coffee should be dissolved in 50 mg of water, broth and poured into the sauce.
Benefits of coffee
Coffee reduces the acidity of tomatoes and adds new piquant notes and a delicate coffee aroma to the dish.
The finished sauce should be added to the pasta and mixed well. Pasta in coffee sauce can be served as a side dish or as a separate dish.
