Spaghetti belongs to the family of Pastas, which has overtime found its way into every continent. While in school, I saw first hand, different methods of preparing Spaghetti but I chose this uncommon method.
A Glimpse of the ingredients needed are on the collage below.
A list of the items used are:
- The Spaghetti
- Vegetable oil
- Crayfish
- Onions
- Salt
- Tomatoes paste
- Pepper
- Water (Honourable mention)
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Sweetening cubes
A simple collection of most of the items.
My Uncommon Procedure For Spaghetti Preparation
After gathering the needed items together, have your pot with some water steaming, and put your crushed spaghetti according to desired size. This is because it comes in long strands.
Crushed according to my choice with a strand by the side in case you like it that way 🙂.
The Spaghetti per boiling. Yes, that's the uncommon method I use. Every other persons I come in contact with don't per boil.
While your spaghetti is left steaming for about 15minutes, you can use it and get other items ready. You can cut your onion bulb

The onions with garlic and ginger.
Thereafter, grind your pepper and crayfish. I chose to grind the crayfish first. I used a manual grinder due to lack of electricity to power my blender.

To see the efforts it took in grinding the crayfish as well as some of the other procedures, you can watch the clip below

After boiling the spaghetti for about 15mins, remove from the fire source and sieve the slimming water. I do it to reduce the amount of calories too.

With the pot empty while the spaghetti is at the kitchen sink, put back the pot on the fireplace and put your cooking oil.

Thereafter, put your tomatoes paste inside the hot mix of oil and onions, ginger and garlic.

Add a little water to mix together into a stew

Thereafter, bring the pot down and turn in your sieved spaghetti.

Using your turning spoon, mix the whole stew and spaghetti until the stew is well distributed.
After mixing to satisfaction, put the pot back on the fireplace and continue mixing together for heat and uniformity.
Then, leave the pot on the fireplace for about 3mins, and guess what 😉. Our food is ready.
Bon appetit 🍝
While I prepared it according to my taste and preference, you can do likewise based on your preference. I sometimes add turmeric powder as spices but currently short of it 😔.
I will be happy to see you try this at home and tell the taste. What do you think about the way I boil my spaghetti and sieve out the water?
