Spaghetti with home-made sauce

Spaghetti with home-made sauce (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti
• $2 worth of chicken fillet (cut into small chunks)
• 2 cans of Hunt's whole tomatoes
• garlic (diced)
• white onion (cut into small pieces)
• Organic raw brown sugar (I used 2.5 tablespoons)
• Basil
• 1-2 dashes ground black pepper
• Grated/Shredded cheese (Parmesan or Mozarella)

Seasoning (for chicken) - not too elaborate so as not to affect the taste of the sauce:

• chicken marinade
• dash of ground black pepper

Method

1. Set the spaghetti to cook.


2. Blend the whole tomatoes. I dun blend them too finely as I prefer having some tomato bits in my sauce. You can choose to blend the garlic and white onion together with the tomatoes if you do not like to bite into them.


3. Heat the oil and fry the garlic and white onion till fragrant and the white onion is quite limp.


4. Pour in the blended tomatoes.


5. Let the sauce simmer till a consistency you like - in general the longer you simmer it, the thicker the sauce would be.


6. Add basil to taste.


7. Add 1-2 dashes of ground black pepper


8. Add sugar to taste.


9. Once the sauce is of the preferred texture and taste, add in the chicken fillet to cook.


10. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and top with cheese.


11. Serve hot.
