Recipe for the Spaghetti
2 medium servings
Spaghetti
|
250 grams
|
Eggplant
|
5 small round varieties, diced and immersed in a bowl of salted water.
|
Tomato
|
2 Medium diced
|
Zuchini
|
1 Medium diced bite size
|
Green Chilli
|
2 slit (Optional)
|
Black Pepper
|
¼ tsp or less depending on preference
|
Garlic
|
5 medium cloves, peeled and diced
|
Olive Oil
|
1 table spoon
|
Directions
- Cook spaghetti according to the package instructions.
- Heat a pan with olive oil to medium and add diced garlic. Saute for couple of minutes until onion is slightly cooked.
- Add the drained eggplant pieces and zucchini. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat. How much you need to cook the eggplant will depend upon how tender it is. The vegetables should be just cooked.
- If you do believe in the power of turmeric, add a pinch or two, at this stage.
- Add the green chilli, tomato and cook for just 2 minutes. Just enough for the tomato to wilt but not cook into a paste.
- I use the vine ripened organic tomatoes, and they cook in just a minute.
- Add the salt, pepper powder or grind a few rounds of fresh pepper . Fresh pepper powder has a very good flavor and adds a good punch.
- Add the cooked spaghetti, mix and heat through and serve.
