Stir Fried Spaghetti & Meatball

When I have only 15 minutes to make Yaseen’s lunch box and he wants it to be spaghetti and meatballs, the only way I see fit in such situation is stir frying.

This express recipe gives a good mix of your favourite flavours in tender spaghetti so instantly. While I cooked spaghetti, which usually took about 10-12 minutes, I mixed salt and pepper into ground meat and made bite-size balls. I dropped meatballs into boiling pot of spaghetti and let them cook only for few minutes before removing them and kept aside for further use.

By the time spaghetti was cooked, we were ready to stir fry.

Yaseen adored stir fried spaghetti, he especially loved biting on those juicy meatballs and let the hot juice lurking in his mouth. The pasta was tender and perfect. The savoury, glossy sauce coated every strings of spaghetti and made them look irresistible.
