Ever heard of lazy spaghetti? Although the name sounds funny let me assure you not only this dish burst with rich, hearty, saucy flavors but it so effortless make, you’d almost crave it every other night.

THINGS YOU’LL NEED

  1. 3tbsp oil (you can take any kind of oil as per your choice)
  2. 1 medium-sized onion
  3. 1 medium-sized tomato
  4. 1/2 cup parsley
  5. 1tsp grated garlic
  6. 1tsp ginger
  7. 1tbsp pasta sauce
  8. 1tbsp tomato ketchup
  9. 2tsp all-purpose flour + 100ml milk
  10. 12 ounces of spaghetti
  11. 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese (1cup)

Note: This recipe can serve up to 4 people

Method:
You’d start by heating the oil in a regular size pan and then add in the onion, saute it for a minute or so, then add tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry them for about 2 minutes.
Then add ketchup and any regular pasta sauce to the vegetables. Cook all these ingredients for a good 3 minutes. Now, add flour and milk, mix and simmer for around a minute, after a thick sauce is formed, you are good to go.
Finally, add 1 and 1/2 cup of water to the mixture and add your uncooked spaghetti to this. Cover the pot with the lid and leave it to cook for around good 10 minutes. The water will start boiling after around 10 minutes, at this time, you’d want to turn off the heat.

Now start adding a few magical ingredients that will enhance the taste of your regular spaghetti, a cup of shredded mozzarella, and a pinch of oregano herbs would do this job. “It would be as perfect as Chemical X ingredient in Power Puff Girls”.

And, voila your lazy pasta is good to go. Just don’t forget to garnish your dish with that parsley.
