How to prepare spaghetti from scratch

HOW TO MAKE SPAGHETTI FROM SCRATCH
I make spaghetti from scratch once in a while and this started way back.

UTENSILS NEEDED
• Rolling Pin/ Pasta machine
• Flat Surface
• Sharp knife for cutting

INGREDIENTS:
• 2 cups Flour
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tsp. Vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp. Water


DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Sift the flour into a medium sized bowl and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well in the center and add the Vegetable oil. With a fork, gently begin mixing the flour into the eggs till it's well incorporated. Drizzle the water little at a time and knead the dough with your hand

Step 2: Place the dough on a flat board. To make it easier to roll out, divide the dough into several equal parts and place the unused dough into a bowl and cover with a wet towel. The next two steps can be done with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin by hand. For this post, i'd be using the hand method.

Step 3: Sprinkle the dough and surface with flour. Place the dough on the flat surface and roll out with a rolling pin. Try to keep the rolled out dough in rectangular form while also making sure it's thin enough to almost see through. Remember that it has to be very thin because once you boil the pasta it's going to increase in size.

Step 4: To cut the dough, sprinkle some flour over the surface of the rectangle. This is done to prevent the dough from sticking together once it's rolled up. Roll up the rectangle shaped dough just like i rolled in my recipe. Once it's rolled up, slice into thin strips and un-roll immediately because they have the tendency to stick together.

Step 5: Hang the spaghetti strips on a clean hanger and leave to dry overnight. Store in an airtight nylon or container till you're ready to use. You can also use it fresh.

FRIED SPAGHETTI

This is my special spaghetti recipe. In my own words, I would call it a slam dunk because it's easy to prepare and it also tastes really good. Making this dish is just as easy as making fried rice; the only difference is there is no rice involved in the process. Check out the recipe below:

INGREDIENTS

Yellow pepper
2 medium sized Onions
2 medium sized Green pepper
Green beans (A handful)
Carrots
Garlic (1 clove)
Salt
Thyme & curry
1 pack of Spaghetti
Seasoning
Butter

PREPARATION:

Chop the fresh; Yellow pepper, Onions, Green pepper, Green beans, Carrots, Garlic and set aside

In a pot, bring the water to a boil.

Add salt, powdered curry, thyme, then the spaghetti.

It takes between 10 to 12minutes to get ready.

Drain the remaining water in the spaghetti in a sieve

Put the pot back onto the burner

Add butter and once it melts pour in your Chopped vegetables with seasoning

Fry for about 3minutes then put in the spaghetti and stir fry for about 2minutes

Leave for about 2minutes more then remove from the burner

Don't worry, it'd turn out really tasty and it won't stick together

Serve with a cold Drink
