Spaghetti is one of the most famous Italian dishes. Everyone loves spaghetti but not everyone can cook it. Some people make the pasta too soggy, the meat too watery, and it just sometimes doesn’t have that special flavor. There is nothing better than a nice hot plate of spaghetti covered in grated parmesan cheese and a side of garlic bread. In this article I will tell you how to make the best spaghetti for you and your family to enjoy.
The first step in making spaghetti is, preparing the ground meat. Most people use ground beef, but I prefer ground turkey it’s healthier and tastes better. If the ground meat is frozen its best too put it in the refrigerator overnight too thaw. If you need to cook it right away you can thaw it out in the microwave using defrost, or put it in a pot on the stove to defrost. When the meat is all brown and has drained out oil it is thawed out fully.
The next step is to prepare the seasonings for the meat. You will need to onions, bell peppers, red cayenne pepper, black pepper, turmeric powder, chicken broth, seasoning salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, and your spaghetti sauce – homemade or prego is what I would choose. First you will mix up the meat and pour out some of the excess oil that is in the pot. Now you will add in all the seasonings mix it all up together really good so everything is settled. Now you will add the sauce into the mixture, add some water to the sauce about ¼ to ½ a cup so it will boil and not dry too fast. Let this boil slowly for about 30 minutes or until sauce is thick and meat is tender.
The next step is to prepare the spaghetti. While the meat is broiling you will put the spaghetti too broil as well so they can both be ready at equal times. The first step is to put a pot of water to boil, add some oil into the water so the noodles do not stick. When the water is boiling you will add the noodles to the pot. The noodles should take about 15 to 20 minutes or until noodles are soft, white and tender.
The final step is preparing the dish to be able to eat. Now that everything is done cooking it’s time to prepare the plate and enjoy your great feast. While you are preparing the dish you may want to put some garlic bread to toast as a side. Garlic bread is very easy to prepare just place the bread into the oven for about 10 minutes or until brown and crispy. Now the first step is the meat it should be soft and have a thick sauce. Next is the noodles you will pour them into a colander which will drain the water out. The noodles should be soft and tender. Now you will place the noodles onto the plate, pour the meat over them, then add some grated parmesan cheese for those who like cheese, add your garlic bread and you will have an amazing meal.
Spaghetti is a very tasty Italian dish that people love especially kids. It’s very simple too cook and I hope this article has helped you learn how to do that. Just follow these easy steps and enjoy your next dinner.
