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.
