Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Paprika (preferably smoked or Hungarian)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Cooked pasta (e.g., elbow macaroni or fusilli)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Peel and slice the carrots, chop the red bell pepper, and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Add them to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme over the vegetables, mixing well to coat them in the spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Stir in the cooked pasta and season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Let the goulash simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Ladle the goulash into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
