Easiest and quickest Spaghetti and something extra

There are 1000s ways to cook spaghetti and on the internet you will find plenty of recipes. My recipe is no different. I just have a tip on how you can make spaghetti easily and very quickly.If you think, early morning, you need a quick bite and do not have the time to cook, on a weekend, prepare the sauce and keep it refrigerated. The sauce is the life of spaghetti ( 4 people)

Now without much complication, make the sauce.You would need -
1) 8-10 ripe tomatoes
2) 4-5 onions
3) 4 cloves of garlic
4) Use basil/ tulsi leaves if you have but even if you do not have, don’t fret on it.
5) Salt and sugar
Now boil the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes. Than take the tomatoes and keep it aside in a small bucket of iced water. Remember even if you dont have that, it is absolutely fine because it is done to retain the color of the sauce. So like I said "dont fret on it".. Oh by the way peel the skin off. In the meantime, slice the onions thinly and fry them in little oil till they are little brownish, add chopped garlic, red chilly powder, salt based on taste and 2 teaspoon of sugar. Fry for 4-5 minutes and in low flame and keep aside

Boil 1 cup of water in another pan, crush the tomatoes and add into the water. Also add the fried onions and the rest of the mixture. Once all the ingredients are little soft, please take out the basil leaf and mix them all together to make a puree in a mixer.

OK, every household has a mixer, however keeping in mind that my recipes are written based on the idea that “I can cook without getting it complicated”, you can crush the puree in a manual grinder as well. It really does not matter.

And guess what – that’s your sauce. That’s the basic thing that you need to make spaghetti

Now in a pan, Add 8-10 cups of water and once the water starts boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes. Boil till they are not crunchy and its ok to for the noodles to be little hard in the centre. Once it is cooked, take it out, wash it under cold water and in another pan, add the noodles and the sauce and cook for another 5-6 minutes and it is done my friend

I made this in the morning :)

Here is another tip – if you do not have spaghetti – do you have Maggie – Yes my friend!!! In a pan, boil the Maggie with little water and DO NOT add the masala. Once the Maggie is about to be cooked, add the sauce and let is cook for 1 minute or so that you made and see the wonder
