SPAGHETTI MAKES THAT DIFFERENCE

The taste of that spaghetti I ate is one that I can hardly ever forget because it was so unique and different on that particular day I tasted it. Funny thing is I’ve eaten it a lot before that day but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did that day. I just kept feeling happy I was there watching the whole process of how that delicious delicacy was prepared.

Spaghetti or macaroni for me is one of the most easiest food to prepare and I only agreed with that after I learnt from my cousin how to prepare it with tomato paste. Prior to that day, I’ve always had spaghetti with stew so I didn’t really like it too much then but when I tasted spaghetti prepared with tomato paste and palm oil, it tasted differently and it was just so nice. That happened over 10 years ago and till date I still enjoy spaghetti a lot so it is definitely worth saying it is my favorite food.

So the first day I realized spaghetti was my favorite meal was the day when we had nothing at home to eat and my cousin brother returned back home and said he was hungry so he asked my brother to buy spaghetti. And in less than an hour he prepared a very delicious spaghetti with palm oil and tomato paste. I enjoyed it so much that I kept wishing that was the only food I’d eat everyday, lol.

Since that day my perception of spaghetti changed for the better and even food in general. I realized that people don’t like certain foods because they’ve not eaten a good one of it. And that is why most times I just prefer preparing only dishes I know how to prepare very well especially for someone who have not had a taste of that food before so I don’t end up making them hate that food. Food is important and it is always best to give people food you know it’s well prepared because you might make them end up hating that food for life, hehe.

Spaghetti/macaroni is a nice meal and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone anytime and any day! Now I just remembered a friend of mine that doesn’t really enjoy spaghetti, and I know how I kept persuading him to eat it almost every time because of how much I enjoy it, lol. But guess what? He is eating it a lot these days so I think you should too, hehe.

The recipe to preparing the spaghetti or macaroni I enjoy is easy. I will just mention a brief summary of how it is prepared. First you want to parboil your Spaghetti/macaroni with a little pinch of salt. After it is cooked to a point when it can be eaten (not so soft), filter off the excess water from it. Keep it aside and make a sauce using palm oil or vegetable oil, pepper, onion, tomato paste, your protein and any spice or ingredients of your choice. Make sure to add some salt to the sauce too and taste. If it taste good, then add a little water to your spaghetti or macaroni in the filter to make it separate from each other and then pour to the dried sauce.

At this point make sure the heat is low then stir until the sauce is well blended with the spaghetti. Tada!!! Your spaghetti (macaroni) is ready to be served, hehe.

This is my response to the Iucontest on ”WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?” where I shared my first time tasting it and also a little procedure on how it is prepared.
