Spaghetti

This is actually one of the most easiest recipes to try on. And in my opinion, it easy to cook since during Raya there are so many people serving spaghetti instead of rendang nowadays.

So, the ingredients are:

1. 6 diced onions

2. 1 can of tomato puree

3. 2 packets of minced meat

4. 4 tablespoon of olive oil

5. Half a bottle of chili sauce (the smaller bottle ya)

6. Half a bottle of tomato ketchup (also the smaller bottle)

7. 1 can of sliced button mushrooms

8. Salt (as much as your heart desires)

9. Pepper (also as much as you want)

10. Cheese (usually a packet will do but if you want it to be more cheesy, then by all means, it's your cooking)

11. 2 packets of spaghetti (vermicili or fettucine) itself

Got your ingredients ready? Let's start cooking then!

Firstly, warm your pot on the stove for a minute or so, then put in the olive oil (I sometimes substitute olive oil with butter coz butter smells tastier). Then put in your onions and let them turn brown a bit. After the smell of nicely cooked onions have wafted into the air (be careful not to burn them, if they've turned black that means that it's burnt), then put in your minced meant. Make sure the meat have cooked nicely and evenly, then put in the tomato puree, followed by chili sauce and tomato ketchup. The reason for chili sauce it coz I like my spaghetti to be a wee bit spicy and sweet. Then add in the mushrooms and stir them all to blend all the ingredients together.

In the mean time, boil a pot of water until you can see the water bubbling (that basically means that it's at boiling temperature) and put in your spaghetti. To avoid the spaghetti to clump to each other, add in a few spoonful of cooking oil into the pot. The oil will help the spaghetti to soften separately instead of sticking together. After the spaghetti noodles has gone limp & soft (make sure it is cooked thoroughly) then take then out of the water and let them dry for a bit in a serving bowl.

After your spaghetti sauce has simmered nicely, you can either choose to add in cheese together in the sauce (to avoid kids from fighting over who gets more cheese) or you can choose to grate the cheese and let everyone have as many or as little cheese as they want later on.

Voila! Your lunch is served *grin*

Hope you like it!
