Notes
- In our recipe, our Turkish spaghetti serves two people as a side dish. Calories are approximate and based on a per person serving.
- We allow approximately 75 grams of uncooked spaghetti per person.
- 1 spoonful of salça (tomato and/or red pepper paste) is enough for 2 people (150 grams of spaghetti).
- If you can't get red pepper paste, tomato paste with a little bit of sweet paprika will be fine.
