Discover the Irresistible Flavors of Spicy Mango Basil Pasta

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Basil Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today I want to share a unique and flavorful dish that combines the sweetness of mango with the freshness of basil and a kick of spice. This Spicy Mango Basil Pasta is perfect for a summer evening when you’re craving something a little different. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• linguine pasta (200g)
• ripe mango, diced (1 mango)
• fresh basil leaves, chopped (30g)
• red chili flakes (1 tsp)
• garlic, minced (2 cloves)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

I start by cooking the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. In a saucepan, I heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Then, I add in the diced mango and cook it until it’s slightly softened.

Next, I toss in the chopped basil leaves, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. I let everything simmer together for a few minutes to let the flavors meld. Once the pasta is cooked, I drain it and add it to the saucepan, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated.

To finish, I sprinkle some extra basil leaves on top for garnish and serve the Spicy Mango Basil Pasta hot. The combination of sweet mango, spicy chili flakes, and fresh basil creates a dish that’s bursting with flavor and sure to impress your taste buds.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, making about 4 servings. Each serving is around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

One tip I have for making this dish even more delicious is to sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. The salty richness of the cheese really elevates the flavors of the pasta and complements the sweet and spicy mango.

I hope you give this Spicy Mango Basil Pasta a try and enjoy it as much as I do! Feel free to experiment with the ingredients and make it your own. Bon appétit!
