Last Updated on July 11, 2019

Hello lovelies, hope you all had a good week? Here is a quick recipe for the weekend. If you are a lover of pasta and spaghetti, then this Jollof spaghetti is for you. You can even prepare your indomie noodles with this super easy recipe too.

My friend (Imimi) always make Jollof spaghetti while we were in school, she would cook her spaghetti Jollof with tomato puree and chilli and I tell you it was the bomb. It was also a new experience eating it each time. She doesn’t add curry and thyme because she doesn’t like them. As students now, meat was always a privilege so we always ended up accompanying our spaghetti Jollof with boiled eggs. My oh my, those two combinations can’t be described, just out of this world.

I made my jollof spaghetti using leftover buka stew and I jazzed it up with fresh prawn, and uziza leaves. Man, I loved it!
