How to make dominican spaghetti

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cut the salami into cubes. Cook and stir the salami until it browns. Lower heat to medium-low. Add onions, pepper, olives, garlic, and capers and cook and stir for a minute, or until onions become translucent. Add tomatoes and oregano, simmer covered until the tomatoes are cooked through (3-5 mins).
2. Add tomato sauce and vinegar (do not add vinegar if you'll use milk). Stir to mix. Add milk and the spaghetti and mix well. Stir until the milk is mixed through, but do not let it boil or the milk will curdle. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
3. Serve hot with tostones or green salad. Garnish with the cheese.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
