(Now) A List Of My Favorite Food And How To Prepare Them
Hello awesome people of read. How have you been? Today I met a namesake ( @Boluwatife ). I think that's pretty cool. There are so many nigerians on this platform and I'm happy not to be alone.
Anyways yesterday, I was going to make a recipe of how to prepare spaghetti but I realize I taught you guys how not to prepare it. I don't know if to say I didn't teach you a recipe, or I gave you a recipe of how not to do it. Whatever it is, today, I'm going to do that. I have a wealth of mistakes that would ensure that I either lead you down the right path, or at least (and even more likely) lead you away from the wrong path. Let's dive into this delicacy.
1 You may wash the spaghetti
If you hate starch that much, you may wash it. Just for you to know I've tried it, I'm going to tell you what's going to happen once you wash it. It brings out so much starch that it almost looks like it's foaming. I'm not usually one that does things or cook for the sake of health benefits. I believe more in eating for pleasure. I can tell you that there's absolutely no difference in taste either you wash the spaghetti or not. But he careful when you're washing it because you may break it, and if you mistakenly break up to one hundredth of the spaghetti, them I recommend you buy another pack and start again (and maybe this time, don't wash it...).
2 Boil Water
This step is necessary as you don't want your spaghetti to soak in a lot of water before it gets boiled. This is one more reason you probably shouldn't wash your spaghetti. Again, this step in my opinion doesn't do anything to change the taste. In fact, of you're using any reasonably fast gas cooker, you have my blessing to go ahead and cook it without boiling. As I said, the difference isn't that much.
3 Put The Spaghetti In The Boiling Water
This looks like a simple thing to do, but I had to add it because there is one or two things you should note.
I) Don't break the spaghetti
II) Use a pot big enough so that you won't break the spaghetti
III) don't break the spaghetti
IV) in the event that your biggest out pot can't contain the spaghetti at once, you probably should break it once.
V) Rule number four is thrash, and so is any rule that says you can break the spaghetti
VI) don't break the spaghetti
VII) this is the most important rule guys "DO NOT BREAK THE SPAGHETTI"
Now that I've given six different rules on now
Putting the spaghetti on fire, you'll be fine on your own.
4) wait
Wait till the spaghetti is done. I'll recommend that you watch an episode of friends. When you get to exactly twelve minutes of the video, go and check the spaghetti. If your means of cooking is fast, then you should be done, else go and complete the remaining seen minutes of the episode.
5) Prepare stew
This is simple. Just mix tomatoes, onions, magi, pepper, and groundnut oil in any order on fire, and you're good to go. If you want me to teach you how I prepare my stew, let me know, and I'll consider teaching you.
6) Serve the stew on top of the spaghetti
You'd think this was obvious until you see people doing all sorts of weird stuff like serving it in a separate place or by the side of the Spaghetti. If you are one of such people, desist from such violent acts. Spaghetti and stew were meant to be together. Separating them like that is just evil! (I forgive you if you're guilty of this because I know you didn't know it was evil, but now you no longer have an excuse).
Thanks for reading guys. You're awesome. Again, the disclaimer. I was joking about some things I said there (I think). Cooking isn't a religion where there are rules or something like that (I hope for your sake this is correct hahaha). If you think I went wrong in any way, I know for certain that I didn't, but interest me with your thoughts.
(:
