Pasta Dishes with Middle Eastern Ingredients like Labneh and Harissa


At Originz, we’re all about bringing together the best organic ingredients to inspire your creativity in the kitchen. While pasta has long been synonymous with Italian cooking, we believe in exploring bold new horizons, blending flavours from around the world to create dishes that are both wholesome and exciting. One fusion we absolutely love is combining the creamy tang of labneh with the smoky, fiery punch of harissa. Together, these Middle Eastern staples turn a classic pasta dish into a flavour-packed masterpiece.

In this blog, we’ll show you how easy it is to create pasta with labneh and harissa, explore customisations to suit your taste, and share tips for crafting dishes that are as nutritious as they are delicious.

 

Why Labneh and Harissa?

Labneh, a thick, strained yoghurt that’s a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, is not only creamy and satisfying but also lighter than traditional cream-based sauces. It’s packed with probiotics and pairs beautifully with pasta for a tangy twist.

Harissa, a chilli paste made from roasted peppers, olive oil, and spices, is a powerhouse of bold, smoky heat. When added to pasta, it introduces layers of flavour that elevate even the simplest recipes. Combining these two ingredients with high-quality pasta, like our organic fusilli, results in a dish that’s indulgent yet nourishing.

 

How to Make Pasta with Labneh and Harissa

Creating pasta with labneh and harissa is simpler than you might think. Here’s one of our favourite recipes, perfect for weeknight dinners or even a quick lunch:

Ingredients

  • 300g Originz organic fusilli
  • 200g labneh
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp organic olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Cook the fusilli according to the package instructions. The ridges in organic fusilli are perfect for holding every bit of sauce.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  3. Turn the heat to low and gently stir in the labneh. Add a splash of pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  4. Mix in the harissa, tasting as you go to find the perfect balance of spice and creaminess.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

This dish showcases the harmony of tangy and spicy flavours, proving that comfort food can be both adventurous and healthy.

 

Take It Up a Notch

Once you’ve mastered the basics, feel free to experiment! Pasta recipes with harissa are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit your mood or pantry.

  • Vegetable Boost: Add roasted vegetables like aubergines, courgettes, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and texture.
  • Protein Power: Toss in grilled chicken, prawns, or even chickpeas to make it a more substantial meal.
  • Crunch Factor: Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, sesame seeds, or crushed pistachios for added texture and Middle Eastern flair.

The key is to play with the balance of creamy labneh and smoky harissa, creating a dish that’s uniquely yours.

FAQs

Can I use other types of pasta for this recipe?

Absolutely! While we recommend our organic fusilli for its ability to hold sauces, penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti are also great options.

What can I substitute for labneh if I don’t have it?

Greek yoghurt is a fantastic substitute. For a vegan option, try a plant-based yoghurt alternative with a thick consistency.

How spicy is harissa, and can I adjust the heat?

Harissa’s spice level can vary by brand. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. If you prefer less heat, mix it with extra labneh or add a touch of honey for balance.

With Originz, you can turn everyday meals into something truly extraordinary. Try this recipe today and discover the magic of organic ingredients and global flavours.
