At home we are all fans of pasta and Italian dishes, though we also love our Mexican flavors so when I was presented with the challenge to transform the Hunt’s KraftĀ® Spaghetti and MeatballsĀ recipe occurred to me that adding my latino flavors will come out as a fantastic dish. That is why todayĀ I am cooking a family favorite, Mexican Spaghetti Marinara with Hunt’s Tomatoes. This recipe has been inspired in the Colección de Recetas de Hunt’s and Kraft® and I have added my personal Mexican touch to make this dishĀ a little more exciting to the taste buds, and serranos are the perfect touch to bring that spicy kick to a traditional dish like Spaghetti Marinara and Meatballs. Italian food and Mexican flavors have a lot in common, many of our authentic Hispanic dishes like those from the Mexican cuisine call for the use of tomatoes, and we Latinas are known for using fresh and high quality ingredients when weĀ cook for ourĀ families. It is simply ourĀ way of life Ā and a tradition passed down from ourĀ mothers and grandmothers, and you know that Ā my abuela Alicia has a lot to do with my recipes and my cooking. That is why I invite you to try thisĀ Mexican Spaghetti Marinara, it is a bit spicy but so good!
