2 tsp salt
1 lb Dominican "salami" [0.43 kg] (Amazon affiliate
link) 2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , large diced
1 bell pepper cut into small
cubes 1/4 cup pitted green
olives
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tbsp capers
(optional)
4 plum tomatoes cut into small
cubes 1/4 tsp oregano
2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 tbsp vinegar (optional)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
(optional) 1/4 tsp pepper or to
taste
1/4 cup ground Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
1. Boil spaghetti: Boil the spaghetti until slightly softer than al dente having added 1
teaspoon of salt to the water (set aside remaining salt).

Drain the water and set spaghetti aside.

2. Cook the sauce: While the spaghetti is boiling, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cut
the salami into cubes. Cook and stir the salami until it browns.

Lower heat to medium-low. Add onions, pepper, olives, garlic, and capers and cook and stir
for a minute, or until onions become translucent. Add tomatoes and oregano, simmer
covered until the tomatoes are cooked through (3-5 mins).

 3. Mix spaghetti and sauce: Add milk and the spaghetti and mix well. Stir until the milk is
mixed through, but do not let it boil or the milk will curdle. Season with pepper and salt
to taste.
4. Serve: This dish is best served hot. Garnish with the cheese. My favorite sides for it
are tostones or green salad.

Notes
No Dominican "salami"? You can try it with our homemade salami recipe, or use supermarket
roasted chicken for an easy Espagueti con Pollo Dominicano. Or use ham or sliced pork sausage
if you feel adventurous.

Do not add vinegar if you are using milk. Both ingredients are optional, as there are no two
homes where this dish is made the same. Both versions have their fans, I love both.
