Special Spaghetti


Today I've made a special kind of spaghetti. As i could not find a good video of how to make this I've posted a nice explanation of what it is and how to make it.
If you can't make the spaghetti sauce better, then its time to focus on the spaghetti itself.
The people i am sharing the table with said the result was a bit too salty so be careful of adding salt to the spaghetti if your sauce also contains salt.

This is what you need to do:

Pour the water into a large cooking pot. Season this with paprika, garlic powder, beef bouillon and salt. Bring it to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti, stir and boil for around 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and let it stand for 4 more minutes. Drain it and, if you wish, rise but don't overdo it. After that you can serve it with your favorite sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon water
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 cubes beef bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
