Spaghetti with roast pork and sauce

This is a very easy dish as I did not make the roast pork. I bought it from the store. I only made the sauce. I added turnip and carrot to the sauce which gave a nice flavor.

Ingredients for Spaghetti with roast pork

Turnip

Preparation
Cut the turnip into halves.

Turnip halved

 Peel off the skin with a knife or a potato peeler. The skin comes off easily. cut turnip into 1/4 inch pieces.
Slice roast pork into bite size pieces.

Sliced roast pork

Boil the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. 

Spaghetti boiling

I added 1 tea spoon salt and 1 tablespoon of oil to the water before boiling. Adding oil will prevent the strands from sticking to each other. When the water comes to the boil add the spaghetti and stir once to prevent the strands from sticking to each other. I boiled it for about 45 minutes. Do not cover tightly. You should stop boiling before the spaghetti becomes very soft. It should be firm (al dente) but not hard. Drain and set aside.
