Spaghetti Souffle
by Tarla Dalal
Soufflé is a traditional egg-based baked dish from France. Having had more of sweet soufflés at bakeries, we often tend to forget that soufflés can be savoury too. They can even be made sumptuous enough to be a main course dish.
Basically, a soufflé is made by combining beaten egg whites and egg yolks with other ingredients and baking it. Here is a Spaghetti Soufflé that introduces you to the art of soufflé making.
Here, the egg is baked along with an exciting mixture of spaghetti and white sauce, flavoured with green chillies and coriander. Finally, a generous coating of cheese before baking makes the Spaghetti Soufflé as perfect as it can get!
Consider this the beginning of a long relationship with savoury soufflés. You will love this so much that you will continue your journey, experimenting with other combinations.
Enjoy this delicious Spaghetti Souffle for lunch or dinner paring it with a crunchy salad and warm bread like Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart French Bread or Garlic Bread .
