You can optionally let the meat sit for a while for the spices to penetrate it better (I guess this is what that does), then get a big pan or a pot and heat up some diced onion and olive oil in it for a few minutes. When the onions start to brown, throw in the meat and cook it thoroughly on low heat. Pasta - Prepare a pot filled with a good amount of water, salt it generously and bring to a boil. Then toss in all the pasta and cook it for however long you prefer - after about 7 minutes it becomes soft enough for me. Sauce - Wash and dice your vegetables (You can use things like carrot, celery, or more onion), then add them along with all the canned tomatoes and garlic cloves into a bowl. Flavor this concoction using the aforementioned spices however you like and blend everything together until there are no big vegetable chunks present. The final assembly - Combine the sauce with the meat and boil it down so that it gets a reasonably thick consistency, a few minutes before serving add both cheeses in about 2:1 proportion of the less fancy to the more fancy one, and let them melt into the sauce (This might require some manual stirring). When the source is ready, get a few bowls and toss in some pasta, then pour a generous amount of sauce on top and grate in some more cheese because why not. Just like that, your very own cat-approved Amateur Chemistry spaghetti is done, now you can do whatever you want with it (Eating it is a good option but setting it on fire is also quite appealing). --------------------------------------------------- Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language so I have some trouble with pronunciation, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me. This is a disclaimer for all the people that will probably get mad at me for feeding spaghetti to my cat: She ate like 3 grams of it, was completely fine afterwards, usually she doesn't eat anything other than her cat food. 0:00 Intro 1:55 Cooking My Spaghetti 7:24 Synthesizing My Spaghetti 15:03 Spaghetti Experiments 15:50 Outro #chemistry #experiment #beautiful #demonstration #science #interesting #cool #reaction #food #spaghetti #delicious #cooking #recipe
