What is Spaghetti?

Spaghetti is a special type of long, thin, cylindrical noodle pasta variety. It is the staple food of Italian cuisine. Italian Spaghetti is made from durum-wheat semolina. Usually Spaghetti made using refined flour but wheat spaghetti is also available.

Spaghetti is made from refined and water. Whole-wheat and multigrain spaghetti are also available. A thin variety of spaghetti called Capellini or colloquially called angel hair spaghetti is what I have used here.

Expert Tips

• Always cook spaghetti in a large pot of salty water. Cook until aldente or a bit tender as per your preference. But make sure its nonsticky after cooking. You can toss it in olive oil to avoid sticking.
• We have added salt while cooking spaghetti so add salt keeping that in mind to the sauce.
• While cooking spaghetti add little more salt than usual and do not overcook.
• Take care not to burn garlic it should be fried only till golden.
• Take care while cooking the sauce - do not burn the butter so be quick and tossing is the key here.

Variations

• Add vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, baby corn, corn or carrot etc.
• You can add spring onion for more flavour and crunch if you prefer. Substitute it with regular chopped onions too.

Serving & Storing Suggestion

Serve it hot with toasted bread or roasted chicken it tastes great on its own too. Spaghetti Pasta keeps well in room temperature only for a day. I would not recommend storing as it tastes best only when had fresh.
