Simple Spaghetti
Guys, I've given up bread. This is my fifth day without it and I can genuinely say that I am seeing buttery baguettes everywhere I look. So I have to fill the void with another carb, my main love: pasta. I suppose I've been quite good for a while now as I replaced white pasta with wholemeal quite some time ago. But I still like to indulge, this is one of the things I make on repeat for myself. It is super simple but amazingly delicious and if like me, you love tomatoes; this one is for you. Before I get to the recipe, I'd like to point you in the direction of this amazing pan my Mom bought me for my birthday. It's a Paella pan from Wilko, but I genuinely think I will be cooking everything in it, everything.
