Today I want to share with you a pasta dish that is popular in Colombia. It is very simple and quick to make and it is delicious. No, it is not an authentic Italian dish, but a Colombian version called Spaghetti con Pollo y Salsa Criolla.
There are a lot of Colombian pasta dishes that we make with our own touch and ingredients and this dish is one of them. I hope you all enjoy it!
Buen provecho!

Had this for dinner last night and as usual, it was amazing. I cooked the chicken/stock as per Erica's instructions found in her Chicken and Rice (Arroz con Pollo) recipe which is also fabulous. I'm thinking of making this again with shrimp! ¡Gracias Erica! =)
