Cooking Instructions

Prepare the curry paste by adding Water (4 cups) into Malaysian Curry Powder (1/3 cup) and stirring into a paste.

Next, prepare the chicken stock by dissolving Chicken Stock Granules (1 Tbsp) into the Water (1/3 cup) .

Melt Butter (5.5 oz) in a pan. Fry Garlic (4 cloves) and Onions (3) . Then add the Curry Leaves (3 stalks) and meat curry powder mixture. Fry until fragrant using medium heat.

Add in the Ground Pork (14 oz) and stir well. Cook for 10 minutes.

Add Tomato Purée (2 oz) , chicken stock, Mushrooms (10) , Carrots (2) , Celery (2 sticks) , and Tomatoes (4) . Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes till all the vegetables become tender and the meat just cooked. Stir constantly throughout the process.

Stir in Cheddar Cheese (3/4 cup) and season with Salt (1 Tbsp) and Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp) . Stir to make sure the cheese fully melts and everything is well mixed

Boil half a saucepan of water with Salt (1 Tbsp) over high heat. Add Spaghetti (14 oz) and stir during the first few minutes of cooking to keep it from sticking together. Boil pasta for 1 minute less than what the package directions state.

Test for doneness (al dente) and remove the cooked spaghetti from the saucepan. Drain and stir in Butter (4 Tbsp) .

Dish spaghetti onto the serving plate. Spoon over the hot sauce and garnish with Cheddar Cheese (3/4 cup) and enjoy!

Author's Notes

Always cook the sauce first and just about done, then only cook the spaghetti. This is because as the pasta sits, it will keep absorbing any water around it and this will change the texture of the perfectly cooked pasta.

Before cooking the pasta always check the suggested time required to cook the pasta on the box. Then while cooking, check on the spaghetti a minute early to make sure it isn’t done yet. It is always a good idea to check the pasta early to prevent overdone and is al dente.

When cooking spaghetti noodles make sure the water should taste pretty salty. This adds flavor to the pasta and helps the pasta to cook well. Do not add oil to the water as this will prevent the meat sauce from sticking to the pasta when you eat it.
