Here is a delicious recipe for spaghetti / pasta, Nigerian popular food. If you really want to enjoy spaghetti, give it a shot today. I tried several other recipes, which this proves to be the best of all.
Particularly because of the use of carrots and green beans, the ingredients I consider very nutritious. For certain reason,i tend to mix most of my meals these days with fruits and vegetables since I became aware of their health benefits.
I really enjoy using a lot onion when preparing spaghetti recipe, the same for Nigerian tomato stew and other tomato-based foods.
Though i tend to focus more on indigenous Nigeria cuisine, also from time to time i introduce other food recipes Nigeria borrowed or newly invented. The spaghetti / pasta and noodle (the most popular meals for children) has only come in the picture a few years ago.

Preparing my favorite spaghetti recipe
chop / cut carrots, green beans and green pepper to the desired size.
Below the depicted image of parboiled spaghetti in bowl, carrots and sliced tomato in a plate,green beans, onion and pepper. I used a combination of fish and cow's kidney and liver while preparing the spaghetti meals.
parboil meat and fish with all the ingredients, I like to use only 2 cube of maggi, a pinch of salt, onion and maybe a little ground nutmeg. parboiling only meat is a good practice, you have the opportunity to remove the stock from the meat which is part of Nigerian cuisine.
I usually parboil meat/fish in Nigerian dish with a glass of water and all necessary ingredients, this practice will allow you to end up with very tasty meat and provide meat stock (meat water) used in the production of most Nigerian foods. You can find out more about this practice later.
blend the crayfish and sliced tomatoes / peppers all together.
Break the Spaghetti to smaller lengths(eatable length) then parboil for 5 to 8 minutes, washed and kept aside. take meat/fish when it's soft enough for consumption, or you can choose not to fry, fry with 250 ml of groundnut oil (you can reduce the oil after frying it).
After frying the fish (you can reduce the oil if it exceeds 150 ml before adding tomatoes, fry and mix 3-5 minutes before adding the sliced tomatoes / pepper and onions, fry it to dry-off water for 10-15 minutes (keep on steering occasionally to prevent burning)
Add a beef soup and a glass of water.
Then add all the ingredients above (cancer, salt to taste and simmer in the list.
Add spaghetti and cook for about 15-20 minutes while it's almost smooth, add the remaining onion and carrot and beans.
Cover the next 4 to 5 minutes just made a delicious meal of spaghetti, Nigeria's popular food
