Spaghetti is a dish to more than a million Nigerians. We could make this Jollof out of it or just boil it and serve it with stew/tomato sauce and meatballs.

How to Make Spaghetti

Our spaghetti recipe has a tasty sauce with just a hint of sweetness. The sauce takes some time since you simmer it for almost an hour, but I promise it’s worth it.

1. Ground Beef

Brown the hamburger in a large pan. Drain the fat if desired.

2. Sauce

Throw in salt, pepper, tomato sauce and paste, water (with the bouillon cubes in it or beef broth in the can), sugar, basil, oregano, and garlic. Simmer on low for an hour.

3. Paste

 A few minutes before the hour is up, cook the box of spaghetti noodles as directed on the package. Once the noodles are cooked, add them to the sauce and serve immediately.

We like to top our spaghetti with grated (or even shredded) Parmesan cheese and some fresh basil if desired. It truly is so delicious!

If you would like a meatless version, cook the sauce without the hamburger, and just put a tablespoon of olive oil in the pan before adding any other ingredients. You can make Meatballs on the side if some people want the option to add meat!
