Spaghetti Polis-naise. Yum!

For the Polis-naise sauce:

Fry some onions in Cypriot olive-oil. Add turkey mince and continue sauteing. Then add chopped peppers, courgette and any other veggies you have around - mushrooms, garlic, broccoli etc. Add tomato puree, some vinegar, and keep frying (sauteing) then add a load of chopped tomatoes and herbs in season - picked from the Paphos forest(?), oregano, thyme, basil, mint etc

Separately, boil the spaghetti (Greek pasta, not that shitty Italian stuff) and serve with grated halloumi or anari or whatever Cypriot cheese you have in the fridge. :P

Enjoy with some Aphrodite chilled wine ....

There is some evidence that a Pasta of sorts was being made in Greece as much as 1000 years before it was made by Italians, and curiouslyv the place in Italy where it developed was the area where In earlier times there had been Greek Colonies in Southern Italy..
