Detailed instructions (Cooking time: 15 to 25 minutes)
Stir together the ground meat, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and a pinch of
salt in a skillet over medium-high heat, while breaking up the meat into
small pieces with a spoon. Cook the meat for 8 minutes until it is no
longer pink. Next, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the tomato
paste, basil, oregano, and thyme. The mixture should smell fragrant after
about a minute of cooking over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Add in and stir together the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown
sugar, and soy sauce. Simmer the sauce for ten minutes on low-medium
heat. Pour the sauce over cooked 3 Minute Spaghetti. Garnish with
parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
A simple dinner that is sure to impress everyone with its simplicity and
classic taste. This quick family meal is filled with garlicky goodness.
Ingredients:
● 1.5 lb shrimp, fried or boiled (optional)
● 7-8 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
● 1⁄2 cup olive oil
● 1 pound of 3 Minute Spaghetti
● red pepper flakes, to taste
● 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil
● salt and freshly ground black pepper
● 1 cup finely grated parmesan
● 1 tablespoon butter
Detailed instructions (Cooking time: 20 to 30 minutes)
To begin, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil the 3
Minute Spaghetti until it is cooked. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl after
draining. Next, for 10 minutes, cook garlic over medium heat until it is
slowly toasted. Once the olive oil starts bubbling, reduce heat to
medium-low and cook for another 5 minutes until the garlic is golden
brown. Remove the pan from the heat.
Toss the pasta with red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Add the
garlicky olive oil on top. Stir together the cooked shrimp, fresh basil, and
half the parmesan cheese. If you want to enhance the flavor, toss in an
extra tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese
and basil sprigs before serving.
