The sauce for the spaghetti is spicy. If you want it to be mild you can omit the green and red chili and chili powder. It will not make much difference in the taste. Spaghetti is an easy dish o prepare. You will use only a couple of utensils and there is less to wash up after cooking.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Main
500 grams dry spaghetti
500 grams spaghetti sauce (I used Prego spaghetti sauce)
250 grams minced beef
Others
1 onion roughly chopped
1 green chili finely sliced
1 red chili finely sliced
1 green bell pepper
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
10 curry leaves
½ tsp salt
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Spices
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp pepper powder
¼ cumin powder
Preparation
Making the sauce
In a medium sized bowl mix minced beef, chilli powder, pepper powder cumin powder and salt. Let it marinate for about 20 minutes.
In a medium size frying pan or wok fry onion, garlic, ginger and curry leaves in low heat, Fry for about 10 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Then add red chilli, green chili and bell pepper and fry for about 3 minutes. Then add minced beef with half a cup of water and let it boil covered for about 30 minutes or until the minced beef becomes soft.
By this time most of the water would have evaporated but the minced beef will still be most and not dry. If the beef is dry add a couple of spoons of water. Add the spaghetti sauce and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Now the sauce for spaghetti is ready.Ginger and garlic will speed up the minced meat cooking process and aid in the digestion.
Method
In a large sauce pan add 2 litres of water and bring to the boil. Add salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the dry spaghetti. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until spaghetti is done. It should be firm to bite – al dente and not soft. If you cover the pan it will over flow.
Drain the spaghetti in a colander. Let it sit in the colander for two to three minutes.
Put spaghetti in the plate and add the sauce on top. Garnish and serve while warm.
