This was a concoction that Mom came up when she realized we were out of spaghetti sauce. It’s a little Italian Mexican fusion

Israeli (pearl) Couscous is round pasta that is larger than regular couscous. It absorbs the liquid that it is cooked in and is a great substitute for rice. I substituted the water with white wine and a smoked pork broth but any broth will work. It is pictured here served with Jackie’s Spiced Tomato Pork Chops and Parmesan Baked Cauliflower.
This creamy base of this dish can be used in a variety of recipes. Anything from creamy chicken and veggies, to creamed soups and scalloped dishes, this recipe is surely a winner.
This recipe was so much fun to make, the flavors go amazingly together and make this dish well balanced. The malfatti has a mild enough flavor that it pairs well with the robust sauce, but still flavorful enough that it doesn’t get lost in the sauce. I hope you enjoy making (and eating) this dish as much as I did. Happy cooking!
What an amazing comfort dish to share with your family. The fragrant notes of onions and garlic partnered with the acidic tomato capture a perfect balance when paired with the sweetness of the wine and boldness of lemon and capers. Resting beautifully on your pasta of choice; this dish is sure to make an impression. Add a side salad and toasty garlic bread for the perfect finishing touch.
