I'd like to share with you how I cook my simple yet special pasta seasoned with ginger and cayenne pepper.

It's ironic how energetic I am even if it's already Friday. Maybe because I am anticipating the weekend to be with family and to have more time with them.

Also, I'm looking forward to cooking a good dish for my 3 girls.

To make this day simply special, I tried to cook a basic dish yet with an extraordinary flavor.

(yum😋)

I'll show you, my dear friends, how I cook my red sauce pasta seasoned with ginger and cayenne pepper.

First off, I checked the stocks to see if I had the complete ingredients prior to cooking. Pasta and tomato sauce, checked. Yet I ran out of condiments and herbs. So I hurriedly ran to the vegetable stand near my house to restock some missing ingredients.

Let me show you the ingredients and the quantities I used:

• 1 white and purple onion
• 1 can of tomato sauce
• 1 tsp of grated ginger
• cayenne pepper (dash)
• 400 grams of pasta
• 1/2 marinated ground pork
• 3 tbsp of butter
• 1 tbsp of cooking oil
• salt to taste

Marinating Instructions:

Dash salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, soy sauce to the ground pork. Let it seep for at least 30 minutes.

Here are the easy steps:

1 I boiled the pasta in a pot with around 6 cups of water. I timed it for around 10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.

I dashed the boiling water with salt, including the oil. This way, it would prevent the pasta from sticking.

2 Next, I sautéd the onions plus the marinated ground pork. Oh, by the way, you can marinade the pork overnight for a richer taste. If you are short of time, the least time is 30 minutes. That way, the taste will seep into the pork. Simmer for 10 minutes.

3 Season with pepper and salt. Also, add the grated ginger.

4 Finally, put the tomato sauce and stir until it's evenly mixed with the pork. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Time to mix the pasta and the sauce.

Here's the final plating garnished with parsley leaves. Enjoy!

(enjoooy!)
