Tallarines Verdes Recipe - Peruvian Style Green Spaghetti
A vibrant, hearty, and creamy Peruvian style pasta, this Tallarines Verdes recipe is sure to become a family favorite at dinner time.
The Peruvian green spaghetti (or bucatini) features a sauce made with spinach and basil that's bursting with color and flavor. We're adding some extra umami with the inclusion of Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, with its sweetness and savory flavors complimenting the spinach and basil perfectly. You can also use our vegan oyster sauce to keep this completely vegetarian.
In Peru, this would commonly be served with steak, but any protein of choice works perfectly as an accompaniment!
