Cooking Directions for Jollof Spaghetti :

<<Before cooking Jollof Spaghetti >>

Wash and chop all the vegetables you'll be using.
 Then prepare your stew, if you don't already have some stew.
Here's how to prepare Tomato stew, Beef stew or Chicken stew

1. Put some water to boil , when it starts to bubble, add the spaghetti  and a little salt and parboil for 3 minutes. Then strain into a sieve.
This pre-cooking process  helps to get rid of the excess starch that comes with most spaghetti , but you can leave it out if your brand of spaghetti has a low starch content.

2. Place the prepared stew into a pot (If you like your jollof spaghetti really ''stewy'', you can set aside about a cooking-spoonful of the stew, for later use)
    Add the meat or chicken stock(or water) into the stew pot and leave to boil on high heat for 5 minutes.

 3.  Add the precooked spaghetti, the vegetables, the ground crayfish (this is optional), the stock cube , salt and pepper to taste... and any other seasoning you like to add and leave to boil for 5 minutes on medium heat.

4. When the liquid in the spaghetti is almost dried, add the remaining stew to the top, cover the pot and simmer  for 1 minute until the spaghetti is done.

 
 
    Now mix thoroughly and turn off the heat... and your Jollof Spaghetti is Ready.- naija nawa
