Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and spring onions






A pack of spaghetti has been lying in my pantry for few weeks and just yesterday I harvested some fresh and aromatic spring onions. 
Thought of pairing it with the spaghetti and yea also had some ripe cherry tomatoes to be plucked from the pots.
So thought of bringing all this ingredients together to prepare spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and spring onions and the verdict was super yum!
I am bad with stories and hence jumping to the recipe: P

Ingredients

Olive oil – 2 -3 tbsp.
Finely chopped garlic – 1-2 tsp. 
Finely chopped spring onion heads - 1/4 cup
Spaghetti – 250 gms
Water in which spaghetti was cooked - 1 cup
Salt, pepper, chilli flakes, Italian seasoning – as per your wish

Method
  • Cook the spaghetti and keep aside.
  • Take a deep wok or a skillet and add the olive oil, throw in the chopped garlic and spring onion heads, sauté well.
  • Add about a cup of water in which spaghetti was cooked and simmer a while 
  • Now add the cooked spaghetti and add salt, pepper and stir well.
  • Add the chopped cherry tomatoes and spring onion and stir again. 
  • Add the Italian seasoning and chilli flakes and grated cheese at this stage.
  • Stir well again and serve hot!!


Note:
Spaghetti can be cooked in a huge pot of boiling water in which a little olive oil and salt is added.
Alternatively you can pressure cook the spaghetti by adding 6 cups of water to 250 gms of spaghetti, salt and cooking for one whistle. Retain one cup of water in which spaghetti is cooked for the recipe. 

Cook, serve and enjoy :)
Thank you
