Instructions:
-
Cook the Spaghetti:
- Begin by boiling water in a large pan. Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of oil to the water.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the durum wheat spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti until it softens. Note that it will take slightly longer than regular noodles.
- Once cooked, drain the water and rinse the spaghetti with cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
-
Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the spaghetti is cooking, chop the onion and vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage) into thin slices or julienne.
-
Stir Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or wok.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Next, add the chopped vegetables—carrot, green bell pepper, and cabbage—and sauté them for about a minute.
- Sprinkle a little water over the vegetables and cook for a few minutes until they become tender but still retain their crunch.
-
Combine Spaghetti and Vegetables:
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the sautéed vegetables. Stir in salt to taste, along with the black pepper powder and Italian seasoning.
- Toss everything together gently to ensure the spaghetti is evenly coated with the vegetables and spices.
-
Serve:
- Once everything is well mixed and heated through, serve the Spaghetti Stir Fry hot.
- For an extra special touch, pair it with a bowl of Roasted Tomato and Pumpkin Soup for a wholesome, comforting dinner.
