Recipe Description
Jollof Spaghetti is a Jollof rice inspired method of preparing Spaghetti, this dish can be replicated with all other kinds of pasta.
This recipe is very easy and definitely delicious. You can also make this lovely dish plain without veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 pack spaghetti
- 2¾ cups chicken stock I used a homemade stock
- 5 large freshtomatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 scotch bonnet peppers (atarodo)
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 seasoning cube
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp curry powder
- A small handful of basil optional
- Salt to taste
Steps
- 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 seasoning cube.
- 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.
- If you choose to add basil, add it in at this stage.
- Serve with peppered chicken, beef and any other protein.
