“When was the first time you learned to cook spaghetti?”

It has been more than 6 years that I attempted to cook spaghetti. I must lay down my card and claimed that I am not a cooking person. It is simply because I am not good in the kitchen department. But then, the cooking skills were tested when I was in Tajikistan in 2011. Since I am living in a foreign country, there is a moment of food craving. At that time, I was so on fire and wanted to eat pasta. I tried to find the alternative ingredients and do my experimentation.
1 can of Indian tomato sauce
3 pieces of boiled and shredded potatoes
¼ kg of shredded beef meat
½ kg of white sugar
¼ kg of salt
½ kg of pasta strings
It seems promising, but I managed to make a ‘survival’ spaghetti in the house. It was like having a party every weekend. It always goes with a spaghetti on my table.
‘Do you experiment making meals in the kitchen department?’
‘How do you satisfy your food cravings?’
‘Are you a cooking person?’

@averygirl72 I haven't tried it, my friend. My family members can do it. I don't really go the kitchen and cook some meals. It is not my cup of tea.

It was in the 80's when I learned cooking spaghetti here in Germany . I think it was 1982 when we had our first apartment and I had to cook myself. I learned the Italian way of spaghetti making and I loved it. Maybe until now that is the reason why I don't like Pinoy sweet spaghetti.

I dont use angel hair Pasta anymore when I make Spaghetti these days. i either use spiralizer sliced zucchini or Spaghetti squash when I have pasta craving.
If I felt like eating Gluten I make fresh pasta, Its just eggs ,flour oil and salt anyway.
I know how to cook since I was like 10, My dad is a chef.

I learned to cook at a young age, perhaps about 7. Interesting recipe there.

I used to love to cook. I would spend hours fixing meals for my parents. Since my n the job injury I don't spend as much time cooking. I'm going to pick up a slow cooker and make some chili next week (I think) and it will be great for spaghetti sauce and other foods (that last word came out interesting! My computer filled the word in as "footballs" 
). I usually make up my recipes as I go along.
