So, to continue where I left off previously, here's my own version of Spaghetti Bolognese. Here's the list of ingredients that are must-haves for my version of this spaghetti. And since I couldn't find any minced beef in the supermarket, I had to make do with beef cubes which I cubed them some more to make smaller beef cubes.

Start by cooking an appropriate amount of spaghetti first. And while the spaghetti is boiling in hot water, prepare the next set of ingredients listed below. I've decided not to snap photos of the spaghetti cooking since it's rather redundant and almost everything knows how to cook it. But there's another step to the spaghetti cooking part, which will be talked about after the imgredient list.

Oh, do throw in your prepared capsicum with the spaghetti as well so you don't need to cook the sauce + ingredient for too long just to ensure the capsicum is thoroughly cooked. Missed this part out >.<


Must have ingredients includes:

• Chopped tomatoes with seeds removed (to trick people into believing that it's home-made spaghetti sauce with the chopped tomatoes)


• Minced beef (but if you cannot find minced beef, you will have to do the laborious task of cubing your beef into smaller bites. Or if you cannot eat beef, use another meat like pork or chicken, which happens to be good choices for spaghetti bolognese as well)


• Green capsicum (green capsicum looks good in tomato-based spaghetti recipes because of the color).

• Garlic Powder (If you happened to not enjoy mincing up actual garlic)


• Olive Oil (In my humble opinion, olive oil is a much better choice when cooking the ingredients + sauce for spaghetti. I've tried Canola oil before and the taste is rather weird and evoke a sense of akwardness)

• Tabasco sauce (If you like a hint of spiciness in your spaghetti, go ahead and get some Tabasco. If not, it's alright to skip it)


• Black pepper (A little more "spiciness" in it, it's ok to skip black pepper if you're not one who likes black pepper)


• Parsley Flakes (If you do not have fresh parsley, it's alright to use the store-bought ready ones instead)

Not forgetting cheese, to give it a little more cheesy-kick in there. If you don't like cheese, skip this as well.

Now that your meat has been minced, cubed or however way you like it. Go back to your spaghetti, it should be almost close to al dente. As soon as the spaghetti is almost at the al dente stage, off the fire and let the spaghetti sit in the boiling hot water. The hot water itself will slowly cook your spaghetti to al dente, so there's absolutely no need to continue wasting fuel/fire for it.

Besides, the ingredients may take just a little smidget to cook thoroughly (because of the meat in there), but I assure you the spaghetti will definitely be al dente once the sauce and ingredients are done.


Remember how I asked you to cook the capsicum together with the spaghetti together? Once the spaghetti is close to al dente, fish out the capsicum and set aside. Get a little cooking pot, heat and add in some olive oil. Next, throw in the pre-boiled capsicum, chopped tomatoes and prepared meat to cook.

Once the meat looks halfway cooked, pour or scoop in some spaghetti sauce as well. And while the sauce + ingredients are being cooked, you may proceed to add in black pepper and tabasco sauce, if you are adding these in. Leave the parsley for garnishing.


While the sauce + ingredients are still slowly cooking, fish out your al dente spaghetti into a bowl (or plate, your choice). Once the spaghetti is transferred to a serving dish/bowl, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top of the spaghetti. The heat from the spaghetti will melt the cheese a little, it's alright.


Now that your sauce + ingredients are thoroughly cooked, use a spoon to scoop the sauce onto your spaghetti. Just scoop enough to cover the layer of cheese. Once done, sprinkle another generous layer of cheese once more and pour the remaining spaghetti sauce over the 2nd "layer" of cheese.


Next, sprinkle some parsley flakes and let it sit for under 30 seconds to let the heat melt the sprinkled cheese that you add in earlier. Then, you eat it!
