The first thing I didn’t expect to see on the streets in Accra, Ghana were boiling vats of water for pasta. There was pasta around us, mostly spaghetti that locals were selling on the streets. I couldn’t help but feel super curious by all of it, especially when nearly every hotel menu offered pasta in some form. Ghana’s food scene is fulfilled by spice. If you want to feast like a true Ghanaian, you will have to bring on the heat!

While digging through my memories and brainstorming recipe ideas I remembered seeing Pasta Arrabiata on some menu somewhere! And I thought it would be clever to bridge two worlds into one. A Lazio, Italy region classic could not be more perfect for a Ghanaian palate. It’s the spice baby!

My sauce will kick you in the booty and make you feel warm and fuzzy all at the same time. It’s rich with lots of fat from olive oil and slabs of butter that cooked slowly into the sauce as it roasted in the oven. It’s thick and viscous, not quite how a tomato sauce should be, but what I think is the perfect consistency for richness and cozy fall weather. Cheese is not common in a Ghanaian diet, but there is no darn way I couldn’t include it here. So with further research, I found that farmer’s cheese is quintessential in Ghana if and when there is any cheese to be had or used at all. It’s like a mascarpone ricotta combo, creamy but crumbly and perfect for the top of a baked pasta. And I love the addition of breadcrumb for a little buttery crunch factor.

    Hey there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re using?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet
    browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker
    then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a fair price?

    Many thanks, I appreciate it!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
    find this matter to be really something which I think
    I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for
    me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will
    try to get the hang of it!

    I do accept as true with all of the concepts you have introduced on your post.
    They’re very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too
    short for novices. May you please prolong them a
    little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

    Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring
    a blog article or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot
    of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from
    each other. If you might be interested feel free to send
    me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Excellent blog by the way!
