Get your ingredients together. Prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the pack. When it's done put 2 tbsp oil in a pot. 2.

Fry for a further 2 - 3 minutes. 6. Pour this mixture into the pot with spaghetti and mix until evenly incorporated. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Enjoy! *=======* Notes *=======* ✅ To *julienne* is to cut your vegetables or meat into strips. Ensure you do this well so the final outcome of your dish is appealing to the eyes. (As has been said, we eat with our eyes first!) ✅ Quick tip: it's easier to julienne your chicken when it's partly frozen and not 100% defrosted. That way you get lovely, almost equal sized strips. ✅ When making the oil fragrant, ensure your heat is low. High heat will not give the garlic enough time to infuse into the oil but rather burn it instead. ✅ To make this vegan and vegetarian friendly, please omit the chicken and perhaps replace with cooked beans of your choice or mushroom. ✅ Tomato sauce may be used in place of the tomato puree. ✅Tender beef may be used in place of the chicken. ✅Be careful not to overcook the chicken as this will cause it to lose all its juices and become dry, hard and not enjoyable. *=======* ZimboKitchen © 2025.
