it's 11 and im hungry

chilli and garlic spaghetti with tomatoes
ahhh very aromatic and yummy. Simple and satisfying, perfect for when your hungry and stuck for ideas. No meat means no defrosting =P

Only try this if you know the tomatoes you have are fresh and awesome in flavour. Wont work otherwise.
1. Prepare onions (as fine as you can),  garlic (sliced to thin strands), chilli (i used 1, wasnt enough fire) and diced tomatoes.
2. Start pasta going (use plenty of salt in the water)
3. Use a bit of oil and fry up the garlic and chilli on medium heat. Wait till garlics are very brown.
4. Throw in finely diced onions and a little bit of oil. Brown.
5. Add a few dashes of paprika to colour, maybe a little cayene pepper.
6. Mix and take off heat. By now the pasta is done, drain and throw into the onions.
7. Mix thoroughly and add generous amounts of fragrant quality olive oil.
8. chuck in diced tomatoes, swirl around a little to absorb the residual heat.
9. Serve with a good load of cracked pepper. If done right, the spaghetti will be salty enough and no extra is required.

u can't go wrong with this one. =P
