This red Hungarian paprika paste is HOT. There is a mild version of it, but I like the spicy one more. Our city had two partnerships with Cities in Hungary. On many big city festivals or at the Christmas market in town, there are emmisiaries from Szeged or Gyönk in the city and take part in the festivals. A booth with local products draws lots of people.
But you can get this pastes here as well in the supermarkets. I usually use them to spice up some meat sauces. This is the first time I used it as the main component of a pasta sauce. I needed some other ingredients to tone it down a bit, but it was still hot and spicy.
Recipe for 1:
110 g Buccatini pasta, 2 shallots, 2 cloves of garlic,
3 tbsp Hungarian hot paprika paste Piros Arany, salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil, 125 ml veg stock, 2 tsp honey
60 g goat cream cheese, 3 tbsp pasta water, chives,
shredded Gouda, basil
Cook the pasta. Chop onion and garlic and saute it in oil. Add the paste and stir it for 1 min. Add veg stock and cook it through. Add the rest of the ingredients except the Gouda and basil.
Mix with the pasta and check the heat.
Maybe 2 tbsp paprika paste are enough :-)
