How to.. Make Spaghetti!

Hey! It's time for a round of cooking with Caitlin!

Alright, well I'm going to tell you all how to cook Spaghetti. I think it's bolognese.. But who knows, it tastes good either way.

Ingredients:

• Garlic Salt
• Oil
• Water
• Mince (Can be anything.. Beef or turkey, in my opinion, is better)
• Pasta (Can be any)
• Jar of Bolognese sauce (Again, can be any brand, any type.)

Method:

A stove top is used for this. 

1. Okay, so first get out a fry pan and a pot. Both of them need lids that fit. Place the pot and pan onto the stove top. Bring the pot up to the highest heat and the pan up to something around a 7, high, but not the highest. Boil a kettle full of water.
2. Brown the mince in the frying pan. 
3. Once the water has finished boiling, pour it into the pot. The pot needs to be filled 3 quarters full with hot water, if the boiled water isn't enough, just use hot water from the tap. Add a dash of oil with the water in the pot and put a lid on the pot, let the water boil.
4. Once your mince has browned, pour in the whole jar of Bolognese sauce. Then, fill the jar with a bit less than a quarter of water, put the lid back on, shake the jar and pour the water in with the meat and sauce. With this step you can add anything in with it, like onions, carrots, peas.. etc.
5. Stir the meat. When it starts to bubble, turn the heat down to a low number (like a 3 or four) and place the lid onto the fry pan. The sauce has now been cooked, all you need to do is wait for the pasta to be cooked. Make sure to stir the sauce every now and then to ensure that the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the frying pan. 
6. Once the water in the pot has boiled and is bubbling, pour the pasta into it. Add some garlic salt and place the lid on the pot. Now, all the pasta has to do it cook. Stir it when you're stirring the sauce.
7. Check on the pasta occasionally and make sure it doesn't bubble over! You will know when the pasta is cooked by tasting it. It really depends on the how the person likes their pasta, but it should be soft. Though not too soft. With spaghetti, I think there's a trick where you throw a piece of it at a wall. If it sticks, then it's cooked. If not, well then it isn't cooked. (Well, something along the lines of that.)
8. Pour the pasta into a colander. The thing that looks like mixing bowl but has holes it in.
9. Quickly run the pasta over with water to get rid of any extra starch.
10. Serve and enjoy!

Some serving suggestions: Some grated cheese on top does nicely with a roll of garlic bread to accompany the meal is always nice too.. Garlic bread is easy to make.. Butter, garlic and bread. With an oven. 

Hope you guys enjoy the recipe and it isn't hard to understand. This is what I made for dinner tonight and it turned out quite nicely!

DFTBA, Caitlin x
