Step by Step Instructions
  • Step 1: Prepare the barley-shaped pasta. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Place the onion, carrots, celery and cayenne pepper in the saucepan and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they soften. After that, add the barley-shaped pasta and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent .
  • Step 2: Finally, mix in the finely chopped tomatoes, salt, a bit of pepper, parsley, cinnamon sticks and about 2 glasses of water.
