Spaghetti with pasta sauce

Spaghetti is long, thin, cylindrical, solid pasta. Italian spaghetti is made from durum wheat semolina. Elsewhere it may be made with other kinds of wheat flour. It is easy to make spaghetti at home. I have made this recipe simpler by using store bought canned pasta sauce.

Preparation
I used cherry tomatoes. I halved them. If you are using a large tomato cut it into small pieces.
You can remove the main fibre from the snow peas by making a small incision at the tip and pulling it. Adding oil will prevent the strands from sticking to each other.
Clean and cut 50 grams asparagus into sdmall pieces.
Clean and cut bell pepper into small pieces.
Cut 1 large onion into small pieces.

Cut 2 red chillies into fine pieces.
Boil the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. I heated water in a large sauce pan.  I added 1 teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of oil to the water. After the water comes to a boil I added the spaghetti and stirred once to keep the stands from sticking together. I cooked for 45 minutes partially covered. You should stop boiling before the spaghetti becomes soft. It should be firm (al dente) but not hard. Drain and set aside.

Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or a wok. When the oil is hot add the onion and reduce the heat to medium and fry for about 10 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
