Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

While the spaghetti is cooking, slice the spring onions into rings, thinly slice the garlic, and dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Fillet the grapefruit, reserving any juice that runs out in a non-stick pan. Sauté the spring onions in the juice of the oranges with the spices, chili, and garlic in the pan. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water, add, and let it reduce slightly. Remove the chili sooner or later, depending on how spicy you want it. Season to taste with stock. Add the grapefruit segments and diced tomatoes, and let it simmer for just a few moments. Pour the sauce over the drained spaghetti and serve. It’s also great as a starter. The sauce can be used cold as a fondue sauce.
