Cooking Spaghetti Noodles

1. In order to cook the spaghetti noodles for your chicken spaghetti meal, you will need to take a large pan and fill it with water.
   
2. Place the pan on the stovetop and turn the heat to high, allowing the water to come to a rapid boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, it’s time to add flavor to the noodles. To do so, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. The salt not only enhances the taste of the noodles but also helps to season them while they cook.
   
3. After adding the salt, gently add the spaghetti noodles to the boiling water, making sure they are completely submerged. You can use a set of tongs or a fork to gently push the noodles into the water if needed.
   
4. Allow the noodles to cook according to the package instructions or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Typically, spaghetti noodles take around 8-10 minutes to cook until they cooked through but still have a slight firmness to them.
   
5. While the spaghetti noodles are cooking, you can proceed to fry the chicken mince and prepare the flavorful sauce for your chicken spaghetti meal. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander to remove any excess water. At this point, the plump and tender spaghetti noodles are ready to be combined with the cooked chicken mince, sauce, and other delicious ingredients, creating a delightful chicken spaghetti meal.

Step-by-Step Guide with Pictures

One of the best things about this recipe is that you can easily adjust it to your liking. If you enjoy spicy food, feel free to add chili flakes. And if you want to make it extra special, sprinkle some grated cheese on top before serving. It melts and adds a gooey, cheesy goodness that takes the dish to another level of yumminess. But I refer to keep the taste original.

1. Start off by marinating chicken mince with powdered spices such as salt, black pepper, white pepper, chilli flakes, mixed herbs, coriander powder and garlic paste.

2. Incorporate chopped onions and tomatoes into the mince mixture. Allow the mince to marinate for a minimum of 20-25 minutes. Marinating helps the flavors penetrate the chicken and enhances its taste.

3. Heat a pan and add butter. Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic to the pan.
Sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant. This step adds aromatic flavor to the dish.

4. To the sautéed garlic, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir the sauce mixture until it thickens. This ensures a rich and flavorful sauce for the chicken mince.

5. Add the marinated chicken mince to the pan with the sauce. Cook the chicken mince in the sauce until it is cooked through and well-coated. The sauce will infuse with the chicken mince, enhancing its taste and providing a succulent texture.

6. Stir and fry the chicken mince with the sauce for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken changes color to brown and the tomatoes become soft. Now Pour in 1/2 cup of hot water into the pan. Place a lid on the pan and let the mixture to simmer. The steam created by covering the pan helps to cook the chicken and allows the flavors to meld together.

7. Open the lid once the chicken is fully cooked and the oil has started to separate from the sauce. Incorporate 2 tablespoons of ketchup into the pan. The ketchup adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of oregano for an herbal and aromatic twist.

8. Stir all the ingredients well, ensuring that the sauce and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout. Combine the noodles thoroughly with the cooked mince and sauce, ensuring that they are well-coated and mixed.

9. Transfer the prepared chicken spaghetti meal to a serving dish. Serve the dish hot, allowing the flavors to shine while it is still warm and enjoyable.

Tips to Achieve Great Spaghetti Result

Choose quality ingredients

Whenever possible, opt for fresh chicken and good-quality spaghetti noodles. Using fresh ingredients will enhance the flavor and overall quality of your dish.

Cook the chicken properly

Ensure that the chicken is cooked until it’s tender and fully cooked through. This will prevent any undercooked or raw portions in your spaghetti.

Use enough seasoning

Don’t hold back when adding spices. Season the chicken, sauce, and spaghetti generously to infuse the dish with delicious flavors.

Don’t overcook the spaghetti

Cook the spaghetti until it’s al dente, meaning it has a slightly firm texture. Overcooking the pasta can result in a mushy consistency, which isn’t ideal for this dish.

Let the flavors meld

Give the chicken, onion, and tomato a few minutes to simmer together. This will allow the flavors to blend beautifully and create a rich and flavorful texture.

Let it rest before serving

Allow the chicken spaghetti to rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to intensify and the dish to settle. This will make it easier to serve and ensure that the flavors are well-distributed.

Enjoy it fresh

Chicken spaghetti is best enjoyed immediately after cooking. Reheating leftovers may result in a loss of texture and flavor, so try to prepare it in portions that can be consumed in one go.

So, roll up your sleeves, get cooking, and savor the delightful flavors of this hearty and comforting dish!

Techniques to Improve the taste of Chicken Spaghetti

• Sauté garlic properly: Take the time to properly sauté garlic until it turns golden brown. This adds depth and sweetness to the flavor profile of the dish.
  
• Use fresh tomato: If possible, take fresh tomatoes. This will give your chicken spaghetti a fresher and more vibrant taste compared to using frozen ones.
  
• Add a splash of acidity: Consider adding a splash of acidity to brighten up the flavors. This can be achieved by adding a touch of vinegar or lemon juice to the sauce.
  
• Experiment with additional ingredients: Feel free to get creative and add other ingredients to customize your chicken spaghetti. For example, you can incorporate sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives to introduce additional flavors and textures.
  
• Let it simmer longer: Allow the chicken and sauce to simmer over low heat for an extended period. This will allow the flavors to intensify and meld together, resulting in a more flavorful dish.

Throughout the cooking process, taste your dish and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Don’t be afraid to add more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed. Remember, tasting and adjusting is key to achieving a perfectly balanced and delicious final result.

Basic 5 Ingredients Sauce

The sauce that I have used in this recipe is a simple yet flavorful combination of basic ingredients. It starts with minced garlic sautéed in butter, which adds a rich and aromatic base. To further enhance the taste, soy sauce is incorporated, bringing salty and umami notes to the sauce. The addition of hot sauce adds a hint of spiciness and complexity to the flavor profile. To balance the flavors, a splash of vinegar provides a touch of acidity, while a sprinkle of sugar brings a touch of sweetness. Together, these ingredients create a well-rounded sauce that beautifully complements the chicken spaghetti, adding depth and a delightful blend of savory, spicy, tangy, and sweet flavors.

Note: Keep flame medium when you’re cooking the sauce.

Enjoy and get ready to create a meal that will have everyone asking for seconds. Happy cooking!
