Persian Macaroni is the wildly popular Iranian version of the Italian spaghetti. Iranians call the type of pasta (spaghetti) and this dish both Macaroni! Upon tasting Italian spaghetti with meat sauce for the first time in the late 1930’s, Iranians fell in love and made it their own by adding some Persian touches to it. There are spices in Persian macaroni that you won't see in Italian pasta sauces (turmeric, saffron and some herbs) but perhaps most important for the popularity of this dish is the crunchy #Tahdig layer at the bottom of the pot! Persian Macaroni is a favorite of kids and is often enjoyed with a side of Salad Shirazi and pickled vegetables (AKA Torshi)!
