Remember, these are simple procedures to follow to achieve the desired great taste for your spaghetti.
Ingredients
1. 1 lb. usually 1 box thin spaghetti
2. 2 3/4 cups chicken stock. (homemade stock)
3. 5 large about 2 lbs plum/ tomatoes
4. 1 large onion
5. 1 red bell pepper
6. 3 tbsp vegetable oil
7. 2 tsp. bouillon powder
8. 1 tsp. dried thyme
9. 1 tsp. curry powder
10. Salt to taste
Instructions
· Blend the tomatoes, onions, and peppers until smooth.
· Boil down the tomato sauce on in a pot on medium- high heat until the sauce is about half the amount, and has thickened significantly to look like a paste. This takes about 15–20 minutes, depending on how high the heat is.
· Be sure to stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from burning.
· Once the sauce is reduced, pour in the stock, oil, thyme, curry powder and bouillon. At this stage, taste the sauce and adjust for salt.
· Add in the spaghetti, pushing it down or breaking it to fit into the pot.
· Cover and allow to cook for 5 minutes on low-medium heat.
· After 5 minutes, the pasta should be soft enough to stir. Stir, turn down the heat to low, and allow to cook for another 8–10 minutes.
· After 8 minutes, stir, and the pasta should be cooked. If it is not, add in a splash (about 1/4 cup) of water and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
