I need an easy recipe for spaghetti

Well, I see you've already received some good suggestions. When I'm in a hurry to eat, I have a quick recipe for spaghetti that's essentially done before the noodles cook. I dice up some garlic and shallots (about a tablespoon each) and sautee them in a large-sized sauce pan over medium heat in some extra virgin olive oil. Throw in some salt and let them sweat down. When they're done, I open up a medium can of fresh tomato puree and just dump it in. Then I stir in some salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and some red pepper flakes (sugar will cut the acid in a pinch, but I like the sharpness of fresh tomatoes). I let it simmer while the pasta boils. After about 8 minutes, I drain the pasta and throw it in with the sauce. As I'm stirring, I add about a tablsespoon of butter, some more olive oil and finish it with some nice parmesean cheese. If you wanted a really quick way to make spaghetti, you could use relatively the same ingredients. Just sautee the garlic and shallots in about 1/2 cup of olive oil, add a few herbs (not so many), and then toss the pasta in with some butter and adds tons of cheese. You could also substitute cream for the tomato and add in some olives and even more tons of cheese for a nice, thick cream sauce with the noodles. If you want a garden-fresh taste, try some diced carrots, onions, olives, broccoli, green and red peppers sauteed in the olive oil. Then add a splash of cream, a pat of butter and stir in the noodles for a mock prima vera. These sauces are totally light and healthy. I won't get into all the many meat sauces I try out.

Prepare the pasta according to package instructions. If it's not available then here's what you need to do: In a large pot, bring to a boil about 4 liters of water. Add 2 tbsp of cooking and 1 tbsp salt. Cook for 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the water and immerse the pasta in cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside. For the pasta sauce, you will need the following: 1 medium sized onion, chopped Meatballs, you decide how much you want to put it 3 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp cooking oil 1 pack tomato sauce 1/4 cup water Salt and Pepper to taste (start with 1 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper and the adjust to your taste from there). Instructions: In a saucepan, pour the cooking and saute the onion. After 1 minute, add the meatballs and cook for at least 5 minutes. Then pour the tomato sauce and water. Mix and simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, salt and pepper. You may add the rosemary as well or just use it as a topping. You're done! You can either mix the pasta with the sauce or serve them separately.

I make spaghetti without meat.I make a sauce with tomatoes herbs and add stir fried vegetables like capsicums, mushrooms, french beans .I also add a little bit of pepper and chilly powder to give it a slightly hot flavor.It tastes great and my kids love it. I add mince as well as a change but the vegetables are a must since all of us love to eat lots of vegetables...

You can simply make use of ground beef, hotdogs and tomato sauce. Just saute the garlic and onions together and the add the beef until it gets cooked then add the hotdogs and cook it for a few minutes. You can then put the tomato sauce and season w it with salt, pepper and sugar. If the taste is good then its good to go. You can just garnish it with cheese.

You just really need to analyze the taste of the sauce if that is not balance. Sometimes if you are not that contented with the taste the herbs that you've mentioned will be a big help plus you have to add the ground peppers so that it could have spices but not too much. You can actually try Puttanesca wherein you can put the black olives, herbs as well, capers, virgin coconut oil and parsley. If you want something different that tomato sauce does not involve then I would suggest that you have to try the Thai Chicken spaghetti that you will use the Java sauce, garlic minced, chicken strips, red peppers, shitake mushrooms and roasted nuts. Then your family will really love it. Here in the Philippines that Thai chicken you have mentioned is called the Charlie Chan Pasta that we have eaten that at Yellow Cab. My family loves it when I cooked that. Well you can search on the sites about different kinds of pasta. I've got the idea there that is why I was able to cook many kinds of pastas like spinach pasta. My suggestion there would be just use the tuna rather than corn beef but then you must play around with the sauce. Sometimes other visitors likes my spaghetti but then that is only an ordinary it is because we experimented on the herbs that we used.

Hi Oxyde..This is a basic recipe for marinara sauce. It's what they teach you as a basic sauce in cooking school. It is fast,easy and most of all delicious. Just add you meatballs to it, cook your pasta (el dante) and eat! If you have some good crusty bread, make some garlic bread or eat it as is. Good Luck! 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1 celery stalk, finely chopped 1 carrots, peeled and finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes 1 dried bay leaves Directions In a large pot, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)

Add chopped parsley (we have it a lot in our country, don't know about yours. Add the ready beef to the spaghetti, mix it and ready. Good appetite.
