Spaghetti pasta is a famous mouth-watering aromatic Italian food. It has different types all over the world. Now I am going to make famous simple spaghetti pasta. Spaghetti pasta can not be tasty alone. we need some spices to make it aromatic and delicious. The main spices and vegetables are described below:

Raw spaghetti pasta 

The main spices and vegetables:

Tomato

Red tomatoes 

All tomatoes are the fruit of the Solanum  Lycopersicum plant, although they are commonly referred to and used as vegetables in cooking. Tomatoes have a fresh, mild flavour and when fully ripe turn a normal red — although they also come in a variety of other colours, from yellow to orange, purple and more. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, including beta carotene and lycopene, which have many health benefits.

Capsicum

Capsicums

Capsicum is a type of green pepper. It is a big and light tasty vegetable. Capsicum can be eaten both raw or cooked. This sweet pepper is relatively round and shiny and is also known as bell pepper in many places. They are dissected before preparation. It is not as sweet as other belly peppers. Apart from green, Capsicum also comes in other colours like red, orange and yellow. These are considered to be suitable for cooking in a lightly flavoured vegetable of all kinds.

Chilly

chillies 

Chilly is a spice that is used a lot in cooking. There is an incredibly diverse range of chilli peppers, all of which serve their own personal purpose in the cooking process. There are many types of chilli colours from different countries and different levels of heat. Red chillies are usually mellow while green chillies have a sharp and hitter kick. Despite the array of flavours, smells and tastes we get from chilli when we cook, there are also surprisingly many incredible health benefits!

Olive oil

Extra Virgin olive oil 

Olive oil is extracted by crushing the fruit of the olive plant. Its production process is incredible and simple. The olives have to be pressed to extract their oil but in modern methods, the olives are crushed, mixed together, and then the oil is separated from the pulp in a centrifuge. After centrifugation, a small amount of oil remains in the pomace. The remaining oil can be extracted using chemical solvents and is known as olive pomace oil. Pomace oil is regularly cheaper than ordinary olive oil and has a poor reputation. It is important to choose and buy the right type of olive oil. There are three main categories of olive oil — refined, virgin and extra virgin. Extra virgin olive oil is a less processed or refined type. More virgin olive oil is considered a healthier type of olive oil. It is extracted using natural methods and is standardized for purity and has some sensory properties such as taste and smell.

Garlic

Garlic 

Garlic is widely used as a flavouring in cooking, but it has been used medicinally in ancient and modern history. It is used to prevent and treat a wide range of conditions and diseases. Garlic is related to the genus Allium and is closely related to onions, rakkyo(onions found in Asia), scallions, chives, leeks and shallots. It has been used by humans for thousands of years and was used in ancient Egypt for both culinary purposes and its health and medicinal benefits.

Onion

onions

Onions are very healthy for the body. Onions are a source of vitamin C, sulfuric compounds, flavonoids and phytochemicals. Phytochemicals, or phytonutrients, are compounds found in fruits and vegetables that can react with the human body to trigger natural reactions. Flavonoids are responsible for pigments in most fruits and vegetables. They can help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, heart disease and stroke.

Salt

Idolized salt

Salt is a substance of great importance to human and animal health and to industry. The mineral form halite, or rock salt, is called common salt to separate it from the class of chemical compounds called salt. Salt is essential for the health of humans and animals. Iodized salt, which contains a small amount of potassium iodide, is widely used in places where there is a lack of food, a deficiency that causes inflammation of the thyroid gland, commonly called a goitre. Animal husbandry also needs salt. It is often available in solid blocks.

Black pepper

whole black peppers 

Black pepper is one of the most widely used spices in many places. It is made by grinding peppercorn, which are dried berries from vine Piper Nigrum. It has a sharp and slightly spicy taste that goes well with most dishes. But black pepper is only the staple of a kitchen. It is considered the “king of spices” and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years due to its high concentration of powerful, beneficial plant compounds.

How to cook simple and quick spaghetti pasta?

Let's starts to make simple and quick spaghetti pasta:

Prepare all ingredients such as chopped tomatoes, onions, blend garlic paste, cut capsicum, boil lightly and cut sweet corn, chopped fresh coriander leaves and fresh mint and put aside.

I have two steps to make it.

1st step: 

1. First, take a deep pan and boil enough water in it.
2. Add 1 tbsp oil. If you boil spaghetti with oil, it will not stick to each other while cooking.
3. Add a little salt.
4. After boiling water, add raw spaghetti. You can also break it up a bit if you want.
5. Cook over medium heat for 12 minutes.
6. Stir it in the middle with a fork and spoon. (Spaghetti can be broken if used with anything another than a fork).
7. Once 95% cooked, strain it well using a Steiner.
8. Put 2 tablespoons of filtered pasta water on one side.
9. Thoroughly clean it with cold water.
10. After cleaning, transfer to a plate.
11. Cover with a lid so that the spaghetti does not dry out.

This method works perfectly well.

2nd step:

1. First, take a hard anodised pan and put some oil or olive oil in it and let it heat up.
2. After heating the oil, put 3–4 pieces garlic cloves, then add little oregano and saute for a few minutes.
3. After, few minutes take out garlic cloves from pan then add chopped onion. It is essential for good taste. You can also use finely chopped onions.
4. Add a little garlic paste. Finely chopped garlic can also be used for good taste. Fry on low heat for 2 minutes only.
5. Then add thinly sliced ​​capsicum. If you have capsicum at home and in different colours, you can use that too. Capsicum gives a good crunch to vegetarian spaghetti pasta. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute only.
6. After 1 minute, add finely chopped red tomatoes using a sharp knife and add 2 tablespoons of filtered pasta water. Let the tomatoes not dry out, so add it. Mix it well and cook on medium flame, for 2 to 3 minutes and make a stir it lightly.
7. Add sweet corn kernels. Make sure you have boiled the corn kernels completely. It can also be used in the microwave or on an open flame. Baby corn can also be used here, but be sure to chop the baby corn long and cook it lightly.
8. Add the tomato ketchup. You can add chilli sauce if you want spiciness. Add chilli powder and little black pepper powder. Add salt to taste and mix well. Cook over medium heat, for 1-2 minutes and make a stir it lightly.
9. Then add the cooked spaghetti. Quickly mix the spaghetti with the help of 2 forks.
10. Cook the spaghetti over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes and make a stir it lightly.

Now the spaghetti pasta is ready.

Put in the plate and put fried garlic cloves on the top. Add also some chopped fresh coriander leaves and fresh mint leaves.

Serve it immediately or let it cool completely to send it out and pack it in a non-airtight container.

Enjoy in lunch, dinner, pack for tiffin.
