Ingredients
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 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.
