Spaghetti

I cooked today. I cooked lunch. I cooked spaghetti. I made a friend during PSLE marking, Jeanne and we were discussing about food. I mentioned that I kind of am getting bored with bottled source, and she suggested a basic combination of olive oil, english spices, garlic and salt. I could not remember what she said actually and I did not note them down, so today I guess I started with what she told me and I'll move on from there.

So to start it off, these are the ingredients...
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
enough olive oil to coat your spaghetti causing it to have an oily texture
mccormik italian spices (not promoting the brand but it worked for me and I don't know of any other brand, bought at NTUC punggol plaza)
red onion, chopped
mccormik spicy spices mix
two eggs
a can of ayam brand tuna with mayonaise

What I did.
Firstly while heating the olive oil and boiling the water for the spagh, I chopped the garlic and onions
Put in the onions in the olive oil, followed by the chopped onions.
Stir, if not the garlic will burn, very delicate these things
Add in the spices, noticed I did not mentioned Salt
Put in two eggs but try not to stir or scramble them too much or it,ll be too mushy.
Open the can of tuna and heat it with some cherry tomatoes, whole.
Slice or quarter some cherry tomatoes and placed it in the olive oil mix.. I'd squash them when they are in the pot as this will force the juice out, thus adding some flavour..

Once done, it took me less than 5 minutes wait for the spaghetti to cool,
Remember to add some olive oil and salt in the water, why? I don't know but it was mentioned in the packaging.

Pour the olive oil based sauce and the tuna over the spags, and mix.
Voila...

Heh heh

If you've tried it, let me know how it turns out. You have anything to share please do...


Thank Jeanne

Oh, my kids exams starts tomorrow...Sigh
