An all-time favourite and many beginners’ choice to begin their cooking journey is noodles, especially Maggi. It is an easy and quick recipe that can be tried by anyone and is the best solution when you are tired. It is the favourite dish of kids and can be prepared within minutes.
Nowadays wheat noodles are also available. The method remains the same even if it is Top Ramen, Maggi or Yippee.
I have not included vegetables in this recipe but if you want you can do so.
Ingredients
1 packet Maggi Noodles (family pack 4)
2 tbsp oil
1 big onion
1 medium-sized tomato
1tsp ginger
1 tsp garlic
Method
Take a big Kadai or pan and heat it. Add 2 tbsp of oil and wait for 2 minutes. Then add onions and ginger-garlic paste.
Saute till the raw smell of garlic goes away.
Now add tomatoes and give a quick stir.
For the colour of noodles add turmeric powder.
Finally, add the maggi masala(from the small pack) and saute well. The masala flavour is very appetizing.
Saute further till the tomatoes get mixed well with ingredients and become mushy.
At this stage, you can add vegetables like carrot, beans and capsicum. (chopped)
Now add 600 ml of water and allow it to boil.
Now you can add the noodles(noodles should be broken into pieces) and cook for 10 minutes on high flame. If you want the noodles to be watery you can add 100 ml of extra water.
Ta-da your favourite Maggi is ready for you to relish. Let me know if you enjoyed it in the comments!!P.S. It tastes better when eaten hot:)
Spaghetti Arrabbiata is a spicy Italian recipe.Arrabbiata sauce is a combination of red chilli flakes, tomatoes and garlic in olive oil. It is a very tasty delicious recipe that is simple and easy to make.
Arrabbiata means “angry” which relates to the spiciness of the recipe. Mostly penne pasta is used but I use spaghetti here. This is the recipe that I follow and would like to share it with you as it is very tasty.
Precautions to be followed while making the spaghetti
Always add enough water
For boiling spaghetti, more water is required. The vessel should be big enough so that the entire spaghetti is completely submerged in water so that it floats in water. The amount of water should be more.
Do not overcook the spaghetti
When cooked the spaghetti is uniform in colour and soft.If it underdone you can see a white core in the innerside.Just as it is cooked it should be immersed into the sauce.So keep the sauce ready.After you add the spaghetti to the sauce ,mix well and do not cook for more than 2 minutes.
Do not add oil while boiling the spaghetti
Adding oil to the spaghetti does not prevent it from sticking together. If oil is not added to the spaghetti then it is possible for the sauce to stick or get absorbed.This increases the taste.
Do not drain the water completely from the spaghetti
Drain the spaghetti fast and dump it into the pan containing sauce immediately.Nevermind if there is little water as this will help in the proper mixing of pasta and sauce.The remaining water will help in diluting the sauce.
Eat the spaghetti immediately
As soon as you prepare the spaghetti have it immediately while it is hot.Do not allow it to sit.You can get the best taste of the spaghetti when it is taken hot
The combination of herbs along with the sauce to the spaghetti makes it an excellent dish that tingles our taste buds. Here we go into this amazing recipe….
Ingredients:
200 g spaghetti
4 medium-sized blanched tomatoes
1 teaspoon tomato ketchup
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 and a 1/2 tablespoon chilli flakes
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1and a 1/2 teaspoon salt or salt to taste
Method
The method involves three steps
1.Preparation of tomato sauce
2. Boiling the Spaghetti
3. Preparation of Spaghetti Arrabbiata
Now let us see in detail.
1. Preparation of tomato sauce
Blanching of tomatoes
Wash and remove the stem part of the tomatoes. Give a small cut on top of the tomatoes and place it in a vessel. Pour around 400 ml of water. Allow it to boil for around 5 minutes. Remove from flame and strain the tomato. Then run cold water so that further boiling of tomatoes stops. Peel the skin.
Making tomato sauce
Place the peeled tomatoes in a mixer. Add 1 teaspoon tomato ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon chilli flakes and grind.
2. Boiling the Spaghetti
Take 1500 ml of water in a large vessel and allow it to boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Then add spaghetti to it. The vessel should be big enough so that the entire spaghetti is completely submerged in water so that it floats in water.
Note: If only partial spaghetti is immersed then you will end up with spaghetti cooked unevenly that is one part that is immersed in water will be cooked whereas the other part which is not immersed in water will not be cooked.
Cook for 12 minutes.
Using a colander remove the water. Reserve a bit of pasta cooked water and be ready to dump it into the pan containing the sauce.
3. Preparation of Spaghetti Arrabbiata
Take a pan and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Allow it to get heated for 2 minutes. Then add the chopped garlic and saute till it turns golden brown.
Then add 1 tablespoon of chilli flakes. Then sprinkle the oregano and thyme. (mixed herbs can also be used instead of thyme) and stir till the flavour of the ingredients mixes with the oil.
Now add the prepared tomato sauce to this.
Allow it to boil and keep it on low flame for 10 minutes or till it reaches the right consistency. Then add sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well.
Add spaghetti and mix well. Allow the spaghetti to blend with the sauce.
Note : You can also add pizza sauce
