That’s Turkish
grandma style pasta for you! It is really delicious!
I have
to tell you this: in Turkey we usually consume pasta with a dressing we make of
strained yoghurt mixed with a few cloves of crushed garlic (unless the pasta is
with cheese of course)! In Rome, I asked the restaurant if they had any yoghurt
in their kitchen (I had ordered Arabbiatta!), but the waiters was quite in
shock :) My husband who got used to this Turkish habit and who eats his pasta in
tomato dressing with yoghurt sauce still tells it to this day how funny the
situation was! Yes, I really like my pasta that way! :)
You may
notice that I talk about butter in the recipe; I think pasta cooked with butter
is really delicious! That’s also quite grandma style of cooking pasta here,
needless to say!
