Kamakitchen Spaghetti Bolognaisse




For these few days my children have been asking me to cook spaghetti. I refused because I haven't bought the minced beef to make the gravy. Yesterday, I managed to buy one packet of minced beef and therefore, tonight I prepared them the spaghetti that they were long waiting for. Spaghetti actually contains high carbohydrates which gives you energy as much as rice. Nutritionists recommend a diet high in complex carbohydrates, which include pasta, rice, potatoes, breads and grains. And more importantly, I prepared this because its simple to prepare, fast to cook, fast to eat..hu...huu...Here are the ingredients:
Ingredients:
5-6 tbs olive oil
2 big onions (chopped)
5 garlic (chopped)
2 red chilli (chopped)
2 tbs tomato paste
2 cans tomato soup (325g each)
1 cup of plain water
1 pack dried spaghetti (500g)
350g minced beef (optional- minced chicken)
Dried oregano leaves to flavour
Sugar and salt to taste
Optional: mixed vegetable(corn,green peas,carrot) , broccoli or mushroom.
Method:
Heat the oil and add the onion, garlic and chilli until soft. Do not wait until it turn brown. Add the tomato paste and water, bring to boil. Simmer gently. Add the minced beef (chicken). Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instruction until tender. Do not overcooked. Just nice and firm to bite!
Back to the sauce above, after 10 minutes, the minced beef will become tender. Pour the tomato soup and mix with the oregano leaves. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
And do not forget the spaghetti.....drain it well. Now you can stir it in the sauce. Toss well to mix and serve immediately....Yummy!
