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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked pasta and season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Let the goulash simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Ladle the goulash into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
