🥄 Texture

Creamy and smoothly coated pasta from the sour cream-tomato mixture, with pockets of tender spaghetti. Roasted potatoes provide soft, slightly fluffy interiors with lightly crisped edges, and the green pepper adds occasional crunchy bites for contrast.

👃 Aroma

Warm tomato and olive oil dominate the aroma, joined by a subtle roasted potato scent and fresh green pepper top notes. A gentle dairy tang from the sour cream rounds out the nose, giving a mild savory-creamy impression.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp, unoaked white like Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied Italian red such as Chianti; alternatively sparkling water with lemon for a nonalcoholic option.

🥗 Side Dishes

Garlic bread or bruschetta, a simple mixed green salad with a lemon vinaigrette, or roasted seasonal vegetables (e.g., zucchini, eggplant) to complement the meal.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

    While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden.

  3. 3

    Add chopped green pepper to the pan with potatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper is slightly tender but still has a little crunch.

  4. 4

    Pour tomato sauce into the pan with the vegetables. Stir well and let it heat through for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
