Hello friends, welcome to my blog. Here is a budget friendly recipe with Spaghetti (pasta). I tagged it budget friendly because it cheap to prepare and doesn’t look it at all. But before I start with the recipe, let me give you a quick story that happened along the line.
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re in the middle of cooking your food and then you ran out of gas and you do not even have a spare. If you have been in this type of situation you would know how it really feels like and definitely not a good feeling at all. This was exactly what happened to me while I was cooking this meal earlier today.
I was busy preparing myself in the kitchen, already salivating on my own meal, I was really hungry, it was noon already and was my supposed first meal for the day. Although, I ate biscuits earlier, but I wouldn’t count that as food.
After I finished dicing the vegetables, I was par-boiling the Spaghetti and at the same time frying the vegetables with the other burner in the process the burner went out. REALLY! As at that moment, I wasn’t really sure if it was the gas, so I tried to on it back but the fire didn’t come out. Now I realize there was no gas anymore.
I got dressed properly to take my gas cylinder for filling. But before I left, I drained the water out of the Spaghetti so it won’t soak up in the pot before I get back.
When I got to the gas station, the attendant informed me that their is a change in price. Again!...As usual, the price got higher from 750 the last time I bought to 900 per KG (This is a story for another day). I was left with no choice than to buy it to continue my cooking.
I spent about 20minutes outside, the gas station is not too far from my house. I got home and continue from where I stopped in the kitchen. The cooking vibe I had earlier was already down but I just had to bring it back with some good music.
Now back to my cooking.
This stir fried spaghetti recipe is my favorite when it comes to Spaghetti because it is very easy to cook and quick too. It takes nothing less than 20 minutes to prepare but because of the little drama it took more time.
