How Can I Cook Spaghetti Jollof?

Cooking jollof spaghetti is very simple but tactful. To begin, you need to parboil and wash your pasta and make sure all the water is filtered leaving the pasta slightly dry while you store them in your sieve.

Before parboiling the pasta, get all your necessary ingredients ready to avoid keeping the pasta for long, or else they will cool off and start gumming.

This also includes having your stew ready before parboiling the pasta. For your stew, heat your vegetable oil for about 2-3 minutes and allow it hot before adding the sliced onions, pepper, and tomato and allow it to stir for a while.

Add your stem chicken, fish curry, thyme, and other seasonings to taste. Allow the seasonings to mix well before bringing the stew down.

Add the parboiled pasta to the boiling stew and allow it to mix well. Your Jollof spaghetti is ready once the stew is fully absorbed. Your spaghetti jollof is ready at this point, enjoy the moment.
