Usually cooked spaghetti (as well as other pasta or, as they say in Europe, other kinds of pasta), we usually eat with something. For example, with stewed vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, with grated cheese. Spaghetti is also quite harmoniously combined with various meat dishes as a side dish.
For example, you can deliciously cook spaghetti with cream sauce and chicken.
Choose quality spaghetti
We choose spaghetti with the inscription on the package "group A", this means that the product is from wheat of solid sorts.
In any case, spaghetti should be prepared al dente, that is, boil in water for no more than 15 minutes (the best option is 8-12 minutes). It is not necessary to wash quality spaghetti, it is enough to simply throw them into a colander. The chicken should already be prepared by this time.
