Paraguayan Tallarín is a comforting pasta dish commonly prepared with long noodles and a rich homemade meat sauce. Inspired by Italian pasta traditions, this Paraguayan favourite has become a familiar meal in many households. The sauce is typically made with beef, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs, creating a hearty combination that coats every strand of pasta.
Often served for family lunches and dinners, Paraguayan Tallarín is simple, filling, and full of homemade flavour. It can be prepared with beef or chicken, and the sauce may vary from one family to another. A little grated cheese and fresh parsley make a delicious finishing touch.
1. Prepare the Sauce Base: Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked.
3. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, and grated carrot. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
4. Season the Sauce: Add salt, black pepper, oregano, paprika, and the bay leaf. Pour in the beef broth or water and mix well.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and flavourful. Remove the bay leaf and add fresh parsley.
6. Cook the Pasta: Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt and the tallarín pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
7. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the meat sauce and toss gently until evenly coated. Alternatively, arrange the pasta on a serving plate and spoon the sauce over it.
8. Serve: Finish with grated cheese and fresh parsley. Serve hot as a satisfying lunch or dinner.
